I’m 25 and want to retire early. What is my best strategy moving forward?
I’m an information gatherer – probably to the excess. I guess it’s just part of my wiring. In this quest for information, I’m a sucker for signing up to services like Medium.org, the Quora Digest at Quora.com, and others. Quora is kind of a strange concept – a Q&A site where questions are asked, answered,… Continue reading I’m 25 and want to retire early. What is my best strategy moving forward?
Wealthy? Check! Healthy? Not so much!
Maybe you saw the news article in your local paper this week from The Washington Post announcing that for the first time in a decade, the United States was crowned the world’s most competitive economy by the World Economic Forum in Davos.

How To Make Aging Work
I added to my hero list this week. During another boring 24-Hour Fitness workout this week, my aging I-pod Classic served up a James Altucher podcast interview with William Shatner of Startrek, Boston Legal, and Priceline fame. Now 87, Shatner looks 20-years younger and is living like his hair is on fire (yes, he still… Continue reading How To Make Aging Work

Would $79 and 12 hours be too much for you to spend to avoid Alzheimer’s? If so, kill this blog and return to – whatever. Too close to home Alzheimer’s recently became a reality for my wife and me when the wife of a dear friend, half of a close 40-year friendship, was diagnosed with… Continue reading Regain Your Brain – for $79!!
The Thief Called “65”
I had phone conversations this past week with two middle-aged (50-ish) divorced professional women that had eerily similar undertones having to do with a critical life inflection point. These were two talented women who were facing similar challenges in re-entering the job market after an unexpected change in their professional employment status. It wasn’t surprising… Continue reading The Thief Called “65”
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Am I the only one that feels like 2018 just started yesterday? It’s crazy to wake up and realize almost 75% of the year is gone. Especially when you put it up against all the grand plans you had back in December or January about what this year was going to be all about. Well,… Continue reading Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Do You Want an ELF or HALF Retirement?
My thanks to Joe Polish of Genius Network for the acronyms. I’ve heard Joe refer to ELF and HALF repeatedly in his podcasts at 10xTalk.com as part of his teaching mantra for budding entrepreneurs.

Is It Too Late to Be Amazing?
I recently read a veteran career coach’s advice for displaced or dissatisfied middle-agers wishing to re-enter the job market or make a late-life career change. His advice: In today’s changing workplace, you will have to come across as – AMAZING! That’s worth pondering. What makes up amazing?
