title: Every retirement is as personai as every practice.
abstract: Selling a practice is not like selling a car; many lives are bound up in the transaction This is a personal narrative about career planning and circumstances. Without the author's succession of detailed plans, he never would have been sensitive enough to the need for nearly continuous adjustments. In the end, the true value of the practice was not measured in dollars.
