Do you share this common retirement challenge too?
Thanks to everyone for the flood of responses I got into my inbox to my request last Friday to know, What is your #1 single biggest retirement challenge right now?
The flood I got centred on these seven challenges:
I don’t want to be old
I don’t have the time to do everything I want to do
Money. How much do I need?
Money. How much will I need if my lifestyle and circumstances change?
Money. How do I live on less?
How can I use my unique skills and talents to make a long-term contribution?
And how can I be both structured and free in retirement?
Those are seven very insightful and powerful challenges, right?
And again, thanks to everyone who responded and shared. Your stories and lessons are invaluable to me because as I told one person who shared very generously:
“I want my business to genuinely help people overcome their challenges and fears surrounding the work/retirement transition. I therefore want the services I offer (i.e. my daily tips, coaching, workshops, seminars, etc) to be deeply embedded in what is meaningful and important to people like you, then provide practical pathways forward for those people, without telling them how to live their lives. And I can only do that if I get more of a deep dive understanding of their struggles and concerns.”
Anyhow, that’s my two cents.
So please share (if you’re willing) your challenges, fears, lessons and successes whenever they come up. They’ll shape my business, and therefore, help more people successfully transition from work to retirement, enjoying the satisfying life they desire.
Thanks again,
Rowdy
