Is This You?

Although situations differ, the struggles potential entrepreneurs are going through are strikingly similar.

  • You’ve been laid off from your career of many years and you’re experiencing mixed feelings. You’ve become accustomed to all that your career provides, but now you have the chance to “take charge of your own life.”  Yet it feels too risky to start something new.
  • You’re burned out on working so hard for so long. Your work no longer holds the juice it once did.  You’re asking yourself, “Is that all there is?”  Despite these thoughts, you’re not quite ready to walk away yet.
  • You’ve retired, but it’s not what you’d hoped for. You miss feeling productive and realize that your current income and savings are not adequate for your desired lifestyle in the many years ahead.
  • You’re on your own after a long term marriage – and beginning to want a change. You’re adjusting in some ways, but you sense that a lot is missing.  Your life seems to lack purpose, your income has dropped and you miss being engaged with others.

No matter which of these situations you find yourself in, I can help you.

My clients are professionals aged 50 and older from a wide range of backgrounds, from education to technology.  Most are no longer working due to an imposed “early retirement,” or they’ve been laid off.  And most have experienced substantial losses in the value of their nest egg.

But will it work for you?  It will if you have these values:

  • You’re self-directed, and you enjoy considering and researching your options and experimenting with new activities.
  • You see yourself as remaining vital for years to come, regardless of your chronological age.
  • You’re socially conscious and want to make a difference through your work and volunteer activities.
  • You believe in the work ethic, self-reliance, and being productive.
  • You want more than a traditional retirement lifestyle offers, yet you want more balance and fun than you’ve experienced as an employee.
  • You’re drawn to self-help and/or spiritual growth experiences.

Do you see yourself in any of these statements? Are you seeking an independent path for fulfilling your purpose in life? Are you ready to take action?

If so, you’ll want to know about outcomes you can expect when you work with me.
