i like to think of myself as a Retirement Coach. If a Retirement Coach is a resource that can guide you toward a path of greater enjoyment of your newfound status in life, this website meets that criteria. Throughout these pages you’ll find dozens of suggestions on how to add interest and excitement to your days. You can learn how to search your distant memories and desires and turn those interests into a new hobby.
If you were involved in sports, you know what a coach does. In fact, almost anyone who developing a skill has a coach. Our daughter has had a number or vocal coaches to guide her during her singing and performing career. She is now a coach for others. A coach is a person who can guide you toward your goals in a way that you may not be able to see. Jack Nicklaus had a golf coach. It didn't mean that person was a better golfer than the Golden Bear (who really was?), it just meant that he could point out things that the athlete couldn't see for themselves. Sometimes you're not objective enough or are just too close to the situation. This website is meant to coach you to making the most of your retirement years by providing some inspiration and perhaps some possibilities that you may not have considered.
Do you enjoy traveling? Well, acting as your Retirement Coach, this website will help you explore places to visit and new experiences to enjoy and even offer practical advice on how to do it in a way that makes the most sense for you. Experience the joy of escaping the winter cold and walking the beaches in Florida or luxuriating in the desert sun of the southwest without having to buy a second home. We have traveled the world and have enjoyed some luxurious locations without having the worries of a second home. You may choose not to follow our path and that is perfectly fine. Our point here is to offer a perspective you may not have thought about before. This is the time you worked for all of your life – enjoy it to the fullest.

Is money an issue in retirement? This website is full of ideas about how to generate extra income. Whether it’s a traditional job or starting a business, there’s information on what it takes to get started and some of the questions to consider. Why not explore the income possibilities of one of the hobbies you’re involved with? There are some very creative ways to make income and it’s our pleasure to introduce you to some of them. If you like writing or photography, those are natural hobbies that can easily be turned into extra income, and you’ll be very surprised at how much money you can make. In fact, this website started out as a hobby before it became a business that has helped my keep up to date on all the ways people have enriched their lives during their retirement years. Learning new things can keep your mind active and it is inspiring to learn about the stories of other retirees. You can read about some of the people we've met within these pages and we're very glad they shared their stories with us. You can do more than you think and you'll be surpised at how much fun you can have when you learn a new skill. I ventured out very slowly into the world of creating a website because I had no technical skill. I learned very quickly you don't technical skills anymore. I'm not saying they won't help you but I can point you to one company that will guide you every step of the way at your own pace. As your Retirment Coach, I'm here to tell you that, if you can write an e-mail, you can start a website of your own about any subject you have a passion for. Retirees are doing it all the time.
Do you have a hidden talent, or would like to develop a skill? Retirement is the ideal time to study and rekindle a long-forgotten interest. It’s a great way to keep your mind active and meet new friends. Be a part of a talent show or local theater. If that’s something you’ve always thought about doing, or wondering what it would be like to walk out on stage, then why not do it?

Sometimes the hardest thing about any of these ventures is to take the first step. That’s probably the main mission of this website. I found retirement to be wonderful, far exceeding anything I had expected. When I heard about some people who found it to be boring or “a death sentence” I actually got a little offended. Retirement was one of the best things that happened in my life (other than my wife and wonderful family) and I felt like I had to defend it. This website was the result of my desire to make sure people didn't waste the golden years of their life. This website is your Retirement Coach offering advice, inspiration and encouragement to explore the world, develop new talents and re-visit the dreams of your youth. It's all possible and it's all waiting to happen right now.
Anyone who is not enjoying their retirement only has themselves to blame. This website was designed to help you consider all the possibilities that are now open to you. Retirement is truly a blessing and it’s time to enjoy it to the fullest. There are no limits! You can write a memoir or a novel, learn to read music or learn to fly, take up photography or shark fishing and start a website about any one of those things and have the time of your life doing it. Go on and give it a try. It's time to Enjoy Retired Life!
