Hi Chris and Susan here...
We hope you had a great weekend
Ours was dedicated to the continuance of our
decluttering exercise in preparation for moving to Spain
Starting over if you like
So that's the topic of today's newsletter
Starting
over
It's something we all do at some point in our lives
Coincidentally, we were watching a rather old but nevertheless powerful Netflix documentary "I Am Not Your Guru" which is an insight into Tony Robbin's Date With Destiny event
Gosh that was an insight
So many people looking for
change and looking for guidance
For some, it’s big life milestones that trigger change — marriage or divorce, moving to a new city (or country as we're doing), committing to a partner, buying a home, starting a
family, or becoming empty-nesters.
It can be the loss of a loved one or friend.
It can be a global crisis (like the pandemic) or a traumatic experience.
For
others, change comes from other significant changes that we all experience, like our health, aging, retirement, or simply who you choose to invest your time in.
It could be a new career, moving across the country (or
world like us), or another life-changing event that catalyzes big change.
Change is inevitable. It often causes us to examine our values or re-evaluate our priorities. And sometimes, it leads us to this
question:
What should I do with my life?
Should I start over in life?
Where do I go from here?
When we're talking with clients about their retirement plans we hear this all the time
And usually money is at the root of their problem
Because change and starting over is never easy
If you’re thinking about starting over
in life, you’re not alone.
It’s OK to not know where you’re going next.
It’s OK if you don’t have a perfectly planned roadmap to your final destination
As coaches
all we can do is listen and point someone in the direction to explore their options
This is exactly what our calls are far
For most it's just about having someone listen to their fears and concerns
To know they are not alone
These are the steps we suggest you follow
- Start with reflection
- Revisit (and rewrite) your goals
- Work up the courage to change
- Make your next move
- Get a coach
- Keep checking in on yourself
When it's about money we suggest to our prospective clients they go through a decision making process and do the sums as clarity is key
