Out of Whack

Hello {!firstname}:
Lin Schreiber, Retirement Revolutionary
|
I'm
not off my rocker, but I'm definitely off balance right now. Over
the past seven years I've gotten pretty savvy at pacing myself and
creating a healthy balance in my life. The first six months of 2008,
however, I flew into hyper-gear creating and delivering new
keynotes, workshops and a Boot Camp, designing and launching the new
website and revamping and launching this new and improved version of
Living with the Brakes Off. While I'm proud of all that I've
accomplished, and excited about the new direction of Revolutionize
Retirement, the lack of breathing space, and the total demise of my
morning routine have me totally off balance. So, now I find myself
getting my equilibrium back the old (and painful) way – going from
one extreme to the other. Oh boy, do old (bad) habits die hard!

I had the great privilege of being interviewed by my friend and colleague Bill Losey of My Retirement Success, and author of Retire in a Weekend (see Lin Recommends below) on the first of three teleseminars for National Retirement Planning Month (which he founded!). There were loads of people on the call, and I learned a new teleseminar trick – having participants email in their questions to avoid the traffic jams that happen on large conference calls. Thanks Bill for a great time!

Three Brilliant Ways to Segue Into Retirement
And, in case you think this was all
a slam dunk for Don, you need to know that before this adventure he
was terrified of the water. Not only did he overcome his fear and
reach his goal, but Don successfully decompressed from his
high-powered career and was recharged and ready to create the life
he's enjoying today. He currently serves on the Governor of
Delaware's Commission on Lifestyles and Fitness, is Vice Chairman of
the National Senior Games Association (the Senior Olympics),
Chairman of the Advisory Council for the New Castle RSVP, and
belongs to a number of additional organizations associated with
health and well-being. Don loves focusing his time and energy on his
mission -- encouraging others to take responsibility for their
health. Jean found the program exciting,
stimulating, and intellectually challenging, but her greatest joy
was living in a dorm with people from every continent, many of whom
were living side-by-side with their "enemies" (i.e. Israelis and
Palestinians, Indians and Pakistanis.) She found it a great place to
lose one's fears and prejudices, and she came away from the year
with an understanding that she'd already led a full, rich life, and
had accumulated some wisdom to share. By the time she had completed
her thesis, she knew that she would pursue her lifelong dream of
writing. Today, the success of Jean's first book, The Coming of
Aging: Learning to Live from the Inside Out, takes her around the
country keynoting and leading workshops, and her second book will be
published shortly. Now halfway through the year,
Claire's website is about to be launched, logos, business cards and
brochures are printed, and her home office is coming together.
Recently she began working 4 days a week at her job, and three days
a week on her new business. She's begun networking, joined BNI
(Business Networking International), and is negotiating offering her
services through the company she's working for. Who knows? As the
year progresses, she may drop back to three days a week, or even
two. One thing's for certain. Using this last year of work as her
segue is setting Claire up for a strong start to her new
"retirement" life. WANT TO USE THIS ARTICLE IN

Are
you looking forward to no alarm clocks, nowhere to be, nothing to do
for some undefined period starting day one of your retirement?
Dreaming of no one to answer to? Craving some serious down time
before you figure out what's next for you? Beware. You need a segue
plan. And no, it's not endless days of open-ended nothingness. It's
a plan that takes you 180 degrees away from your career, doing
something that really gets your juices going. It will take you
successfully from your last day of work through some pre-determined
period of time, so you can avoid post-career depression and other
assorted woes that happen to those who fail to plan an excellent
segue. You may not know what's next for you, but you can make sure
that you set yourself up for a painless transition.|
