I did this yesterday but it didn't post so here it it now.
💜 Welcome70/90-day CEO of Wealth runs. Wow, 20 days to go! How exciting for everybody!
Um, today's all about retirement should inspire you, not scare you.
I also am a strong believer that if your goals aren't big enough that they scare you a little, then they're not… they're not good at… their goals are not real, goals for growth.
Retirement should not scare you. That is for sure. But your goals?
If that don't scare you a little, then they're not… they're not the right goals to give you the growth, take you to the next level.
So, just be clear on those two things, because I know sometimes we hear things…
Didn't she say this? So, I just wanted to be clear on that. Your retirement should be peaceful when you think about it, should be easy when you think about it it shouldn't be hard or scary. Because the reason it's scary is because…You have fear that you're going to outlive your savings, or that you're not going to have enough,
Or that you're not…you're not building a legacy the way that you want to.
And, you know, fear-based retirement thinking actually keeps us small.
And the vision-based retirement thinking, It makes you magnetic.
I am going to ask you to create a future that pulls you forward.
And…let's talk about something most people won't say out loud.
Retirement is supposed to feel like a reward.
But for so many of people over 60, it feels like a cliff. Feels like you get to that cliff, and…
The only option is to jump.
Because you're asking yourself, is this a cliff of, will I have enough?
Who will… who will I be without work?
There's a lady on TikTok, actually, I listen to her all the time, and she said,
You know, her last video that I was watching yesterday says,
you know, retirement is…no different, you've still got the same chores to do, it just takes you longer. You have a day to think about it, and a day to do it.
And instead of rushing and getting everything done like we do when we're working and doing it before work after work, weekends. She says, you look at the basket, washing basket, go, oh, I cannot wait another day, and it probably can.
And so, we don't…we don't give ourselves enough credit for who we are when we do retire. You know, who are you going to be? Well, you're going to be exactly the same person with better choices.
What if life gets smaller from retirement onwards.
What if your best years are behind you?
But the truth is, most people never tell you, is that fear-based retirement thinking just really does keep you shrinking.
And a vision-based retirement keeps you thinking that… and it makes you magnetic.
So, one contracts, one expands,
One drains life, and one breathes life back into you.
Your retirement should not be something that you survive it should be something that pulls you forward.
that gives you the excitement with purpose and freedom.
Retirement isn't the ending of anything, It's the beginning of something else. It's the first time in your entire life that you get to design how you live your days, without obligation, without alarm clocks, without shoulds and musts,
And we shouldn't, should, all over ourselves.
Should I... had a call the other day, it was a telemarketer, And he asked me a couple… two questions.
And I said, no, it's not for me. And he said, who are you with? And I told him, and he said, you should. I said, please don't tell me I should. Well, you do need to do this. This is what you should do.
I was like, mate, No.
And he said it again, I said, okay, this call is done.
Like…what we should…
And shouldn't do is not something that is verbalised.
It's what we choose to do, and how we choose to do it.
And what works for us and what doesn't work for us.
It's… that's a big difference should and what other people do, and musts or what other people do, and you need to…is what other people do.
And make sure they're respectful of you for that.
Make sure that you are…respectful…make them aware that it's a conversation, and that you don't want to be…told what, how, when, and why.
Because you already have your life, and you know exactly where you're headed.
So, everybody else's expectations do not belong in your boundaries.
The deeper truth here is a future cannot inspire you if you haven't built it yet.
Most women fear retirement, not because they're afraid of aging,
But because they haven't created a vision bold enough to step into.
So the question isn't, will retirement work for me?
The question is, will I finally give myself permission to build something that excites me.
If you're looking for your future to ignite that spark. A why, a vision, something meaningful. Something that is so alive that it makes you unstoppable then that's what… that's already within you.
🟣 And your action for today,
I want you to take 5 minutes. And just be quiet. Without any distractions, And just sit in that quietness.
And think about what is the one thing that your soul is craving more of in your next chapter?
Not the logical thing, not the practical thing. Not the thing you think you're allowed to want for. But the real thing. The thing you've been… that… that you've held inside for years.
Put it on paper, because once it's written,
It becomes direction.
It becomes momentum,
It becomes a promise to yourself.
💜 And for your question today,
If fear wasn't running the show, what vision would pull me forward so powerfully that I couldn't help but rise to meet it?
Let it move something inside of you.
Because retirement…"shouldn't" scare you. But awaken you. And that starts today. Because remember, that fear-based retirement thinking, it really does keep you small.
And vision-based retirement thinking makes you magnetic.
Create the future that pulls you forward.
You're unstoppable.
How do we grow? We push through that fear.
Happy Sunday to all you Australians, and happy Saturday evening to all the American people out there.
So exciting to have you all here.
Please comment under the video, what is it? What is it that… what is the one thing that your soul is craving more of in this next chapter.
And let us all celebrate you.
And the question…What was the vision that would pull you forward so powerfully that you couldn't help but rise to meet it.
I'd love to know. And we would love to celebrate you in all of that.
I'll see you all tomorrow. I look forward to chatting soon. Any questions, ask under the video. I'm here to support, help, and give you what you need here.
