My name is Myles and I am a Boomer! I have the requisite grey hair, wear glasses to read, and joke that “I remember when…”. I still crank up the stereo loud when Go Ask Alice, Purple Haze, or Locomotive Breath come on. I do the same for Stairway to Heaven, Imagine, and anything by Joni Mitchell.
I tell you this to let you know that I understand when you tell me that you would like to get a grip on where you are, how you got there, and what you are going to do next.
If you were like me, you graduated high school, went into the military, went to work for the first place that would hire you, or you continued your education in a field or industry that you were pretty much expected to go into. Nine times out of ten, those things were not what you really wanted to do or felt any real passion for. Like it or not, you did them because it was what was expected of you.
Twenty-five years of that and you're facing yet another transition - into your retirement.
When it was my time to retire, I had a plan in place for my ‘Post-Retirement’ or ‘re-career’ life.
I built on my calling (and experience) to make a positive difference in the lives of Boomers needing help with their retirement.
Now, I get to do something very dear to me and that I am extremely passionate about - assisting my fellow Boomers who are either approaching their retirement or are already there but are asking “What do I do now?”.
To see someone who has been a good provider, parent, and successful in their career come to their retirement with no idea what they are going to be doing next is heartbreaking to me.
I can tell you that it is personally satisfying it is for me to help someone break through that barrier and find and build the life of their dreams.
