If you have recently retired from the military or if it's been a decade or more like us, you are invited to explore the possibilities that retired life has to offer. Ed retired from the USAF as an aircraft maintenance officer in 1994. Military retirement pay and benefits are inadequate for a comfortable, let alone exciting, life. We explored such options as working for someone else as well as working for ourselves. Working for someone else was a real drag but the positive points were a regular paycheck and paid vacation - neither of which were great. Entrepreneurship, in the form of selling real estate, was okay but very demanding of our time - we felt guilty when we left town and weren't available for clients.
When we became empty-nesters 5 years ago, we decided to set some new goals for the rest of our lives. Our first step was to build our dream home on Lake Murray in South Carolina. It was hard to leave our good friends in the panhandle of Florida where we had retired. However, the lake had been beckoning us for many years so off we went on this new adventure. Sandra found a job as a nurse, her vocation all of her adult life, and Ed dabbled in real estate and worked as a retail store manager. The biggest drawback to these J-O-Bs were time and money. They used up too much of our time and rewarded us with too little money.
In March 2006, Ed was looking for a new job opportunity online and found our current business. We both saw the "big picture" in this opportunity right away and got started. What a dream come true! We both now work from home or wherever we happen to be visiting at the time. All we need is a cell phone and a laptop. Our business is direct sales of personal development products and the income potential is very lucrative.
If you are looking for a way to live big now that you have retired from the military, contact us. We love sharing stories of our military days and are passionate about sharing our new lifestyle with anyone who is interested.
To Your Continued Success,
Ed and Sandra Hayes
