Niccolo Machiavelli: Make no small plans for they have no power to stir the soul.
I attended a leadership conference last weekend. The key element I get from these weekends is vision. In normal life, most of the people with whom I interact have modest goals and dreams. Put in 30 or so years at their job and then retire. Most are oblivious to the forces that are making those goals more and more difficult to achieve. With a long-term vision of what is possible and some soul-stirring you can move forward in spite of the obstacles and criticism. Last weekend, I was surrounded by people who don’t make small plans. It is a big difference. The audience was energized with big plans for financial independence, personal freedom and a mission to restore our country to the principles of the founders. Souls were definitely stirred.

Getting the retirement you deserve
If you are already retired you may be disappointed if you didn’t plan ahead. If you don’t make some decisions then your retirement may be disappointing. If you don’t plan your retirement directions, you can end up in the wrong place. Use the links below to find out more about how to take control of your retirement lifestyle.
“Retirement can be a self-imposed exile from life, exhilaration and fulfillment. On the other hand, retirement can be a time of growth, excitement and satisfaction.”
It starts with your thinking. What do you expect and what do you think you deserve. What do you know and do you know what you don’t know?
“At every stage in life we face an incredible obstacle that limits our ability to grow and develop. We don’t know what we don’t know.”
One challenge is what you believe you can do and what you think you can’t. It’s all in your head.
“What are you good at and how did you get good? If you got good at one thing you can get good for another.”
Than you have to make a choice.
“Senior Living or Outrageous Retirement Lifestyle: It’s all up to you.”
Finally it comes down to life balance: balancing all the important facets of your life.
“Life balance is managing three important areas of life – financial, health and social. Retirement puts a stress on this balance that is more significant than in earlier stages of life.”
