For ten year old Kenny, it isn’t always easy being a member of his family, “the weird Watsons”, especially with his older brother By getting into one mess after another.

But getting up in the morning, early.  Start tackling that to do list with intensity, aggression and fighting the fears that you face one at a time.  To reach those goals.  To make those dollars, to provide stability both emotionally and financially.... these things are so important.

When upward mobility is no longer an option...So, you grew up in the 70's 80's or 90's.  You thought that the key to success was to join a firm, work hard for 25 years and retire with a big fat pension.   Unfortunately, we've found that more of more people of our generation lack that upward mobility.  The ladders are broken and the cupboard is bare.  What are you going to do now that your chances to advance are limited.

Time is short, especially when you are starting over at or after 50 years of age.  The options you took for granted when you are young, the assumptions about what it takes to be prosperous, they are all different now.  You've got 15-20-25 years left to "make it" to that finish line of retirement.  But now you need...2019-08-2011 minStarting over at 50Starting over at 50Plan all you want...it's not going down that wayStarting over takes time, effort, and above all else, the willingness to learn from what you perceive as your failures.  But let's be honest, every day we learn something, we put value in the bank, we take steps to avoid future failures, and hopefully we walk away with information that will help us succeed. Driving over 1000 miles and eating bad hotel food this past weekend taught me that information is more valuable than sales in many cases and relationships are the most valuable asset we can collect in business.2019-08-1210 minStarting over at 50Starting over at 50Starting over isn't an ALONE thing.

Be honest, be alert, get checked!Starting over at 50 isn't easy, and unlike younger folks, there are reasons that health insurance and regular checkups are important.  It's easy to ignore your health when money is tight and doctors are expensive.  It's easy to say that Health Insurance isn't that important.  It's easy to wait until its too late to do anything about it. Perhaps the most important podcast I've done to date.  If you're over 50, get checked.  Go to the doctor, and get your recommended tests done. There are no excuses when your life is on the line.2019-05-0711 minStarting over at 50Starting over at 50You are not alone...and that's not always a good thing.
