Here’s what I’m saying (you should be saying it too)
I’m going to come out and say what most people already understand. The gift of my blogs is that I ask the right questions. Questions that every adult ought to have a ready answer for. If you had an answer for June 8th’s question, bravo. If ya didn’t – you’re welcome…. for the reminder.

So are you saying you’re retiring at age 55? Well, yes, and no. Like every business that plans ahead, plans are more like wishes and hopes, not written in stone.
Times and conditions change so rapidly, that we must keep our aim constantly on the future. – Walt Disney

Run your life like a business? Why not?
Hung up the phone a few hours ago with a business contact and am reflecting on how challenging it was to communicate the idea of living with a 10-year plan including “retiring” at age 55 from this fortune 500 entertainment company.
Why do businesses create five and 10 year plans? Simple. Because it helps them plan for the future and focus what they need to do today to reach their goals. Crazy? What’s crazy is most individuals don’t focus like this.

Remember, almost nothing is written in stone
Sure, three years ago, at 50, I made a 10-year plan. Most businesses forecast 5-10 years out, because it’s an incredibly smart business practice. Why would I look at my personal life any differently? Really, why?
