We’re not planning an exit. We’re planning a trip.
In this first episode of Retirement Rules of the Road, I want you to think differently about retirement. You are not riding off into the sunset. You are choosing where you want to watch it from.
After years of hard work, you finally reach your destination. So what does it look like? Is it slow mornings in the kitchen with family. Grandkids running through the backyard. A trip you have always said you would take. A concert. A margarita on a random Tuesday just because you can.
Before we talk numbers, we start with something more important. Direction.
The map is already inside you. Maybe you are crystal clear about what you want. Maybe you are not. Either way is fine. But we need a starting point. A vision we can move toward with purpose and flexibility.
Your road will shift. Life always throws a few lemons in the passenger seat. That is part of the journey. The goal is not perfection. It is intention.
If you are ready to plan your trip instead of drifting into it, let’s get started.
The process of formalizing your visions, goals and dreams is the first step in designing, creating and living the life you want to live. Get crystal clear on what matters most and focus on turning your desires into reality. The questions that follow are deep and will bring feelings of clarity and empowerment when you’re finished.Relax, find some quiet time for thought and let your imagination run free. These are the exact types of questions to be asking and answering right now. Tap into the freedom, independence and peace of mind that comes with living an extraordinary life on your own terms. You can do it, and it’s easier than you think.
Imagine this: You’re on your way to meet a friend at your favorite outdoor restaurant. The sun is shining, you’re smiling, glowing with excitement and have an extra bounce in your step. It’s the perfect temperature and the perfect day. You round the corner and see your friend waving and returning your same glow. You greet each other with a hug and sit down. Your friend asks, “How’s life?” You smile and respond confidently that you’re living an extraordinary life beyond your wildest imagination. Your friend smiles back and says, “Tell me more.” How do you respond?
