Do You Miss Active Duty?

If you sometimes sit around sharing memories of your active duty days, is it because you miss active duty or do you simply have fond memories? The question may look simple but of course isn't. There are some things about active duty life we miss such as the comaraderie, the feeling of making a difference to our country's defense, and the perks (active duty vs. retired pay and certain allowances). And of course, there are certain things we don't miss such as long separations and less-than-ideal moves.

Some retirees are simply bored with civilian life and never quite find a niche for themselves. This is probably more common than we realize. Many of us may not have actually considered retirement at ages 45 or 50 as we set goals for our lives. Heck, some people never even set goals period. I invite you to start right now, today, and set some goals for yourself for the next 30, 60, and 90 days. Maybe you want to lose 10 pounds or buy a new car. Maybe there is a place you want to visit or a good deed you've been meaning to do.

Now set some longer range goals of 6 months, a year, and 5 years. You don't have to have a fully laid out plan to get there, just have a goal. Are some of your goals financial? Perhaps you have some debts you want to get rid of. Or maybe you want a larger portfolio of mutual funds. Are you worried that the current economy may not support your goals? Are there places you've always wanted to visit? Are there people you want to meet or reconnect with?

We are honored and blessed to be able to offer you hope and a plan for achieving anything you desire in life, whether it's financial, personal, or a cause you are passionate about. You may be skeptical because you think that things that sound too good to be true usually are. You owe it to yourself at least look at what we do. After all, we are just like you . We're a retired military couple with 2 adult children, one grandchild, and one on the way. We have elderly parents to take care of. We've worked corporate jobs. We go to church. We pay taxes. (But our home business offers some great savings here.) We have dreams for ourselves, our families and our world.

Trust in your creator to provide for you abundantly. Believe in yourself and your ability to accomplish anything you desire. If you miss active duty life, there are avenues to achieve the same and even more ambitious goals. Give us a call today.

To You and Your Success,

Living The Retired Life On Our Terms

So what have you been up to for the past couple of months? We have made several trips to Florida and one to Quantico, Virginia. Never during our years of working for a boss would these trips have been possible. Two of the trips to Florida were family-related and one was a "Super Saturday" in Miami as part of our business. We have certainly been living the "retired" life on our terms, wouldn't you say?

The trip to Quantico was meaningful as well. We were privileged to see our soon-to-be son-in-law receive his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Based on our experience at Quantico, we stand proud as Americans and feel safe in the protection of these exceptional active duty men and women.

Today I spent some time "surfing the web" while our 2 year-old grandson was napping. Actually that was considered "work" for me as an entrepreneur. There are a lot of JOB opportunities for military retirees but who wants a JOB? I mean, we've served our country proudly and made our share of sacrifices. Now that we have earned this retirement status, we certainly don't need to put ourselves back into service in the corporate arena, do you think?

It was so gratifying to hang out with our fellow business associates in Miami this past weekend. We all have our hearts set on serving others as we all set and attain some very respectable financial goals. Unlike our military careers where only a very few reach the highest rank, with Liberty League International, the goal is for all of us to reach the top. There is plenty of room and plenty of pie to go around. Talk to us. Then you are free to make your own decision about how to proceed with your not quite retired life.

To your prosperity,
