Rightfully so, many people are nervous to retire. They have been working for 40ish years and the thought of retiring sends shivers down their spine.
Others are excited and can't wait to pull the plug.

No matter which one you are, don't let anyone tell you the RIGHT way for you to retire.

My best advice is there isn't ONE way to retire. There are many, many ways and what is right for one person may not be right for another. Take the time to research, ask questions, listen to podcasts and video's but make the BEST decision for you and your circumstances.

And don't be scared to say "this isn't what I expected" and try something new. Don't be scared to go back to work! Don't be scared to say I wasn't ready and don't be scared to say this is GREAT!

Today is a repurposed video that I shared a few months ago as I"m on a plane to Airzona!!

I still get asked this question a lot. Or some version of the following - How do I know when it's time to RETIRE?

I'm scared to RETIRE, how will I know the time is right?

Everyone is telling me to RETIRE...will I know when to pull the plug?


This video outlines 5 reasons it's time to RETIRE NOW!!

In today's video I talk about the 3 phases a person will go through during their retirmenet.
They are, the GO-GO phase, the SLOW-GO phase and the NO-GO phase.

Typically when a person first retires, they want to enjoy as much as they can, they travel, do new things, try new activities and enjoy life to the fullest. As their retirement moves on and as they get older they begin to slow down and enter a different stage.

As they continue to age, they move into the NO-GO phase where travel isn't an option any longer. This video whole heartedly encourages you to enjoy life to the fullest while you can. Go, do thing, try new things and have fun.

Make your RETIREMENT REMARKABLE.

Are you ready to turn your life into your dream RETIREMENT? Me too!!

But what I didn't anticipate were these 3 challenges. When I pictured my retirement I saw fun, travel, excitement and enjoyment. And although I do manage to incorporate those into my retirement, I didn't think I'd also experience these three emotions.
