The Truth About Retirement
Why Retirement As We Know Is Dead and What to Do About It
The first business I built was a retirement planning business. I made money by selling products that included fee and commission-based investment management, sales, life, health, and long-term care insurance.
My purpose was primarily to help people “sleep well at night” by managing their retirement and estate planning. I also wanted to make a lot of money, and make a lot of money, I did.
The lessons I learned about business and life were worth much more than all the money I made and lost.
The truth about retirement is that there’s a way to live and feel like “every day is a holiday” when you shift your perspective and connect with your purpose and share your gifts.
