You Now Have Choices

Unlike our active duty days when we received orders for new assignments, we now have choices about almost everything. We get to choose where, when, and if we will travel. We get to choose where we will live and what hours we will work. We even get to choose our income goals and make our own tactical plans for achieving these goals.

We enjoyed traveling while on active duty. We saw some really interesting places and met some wonderful people. Our travel now is a combination of business and pleasure. Our company has 3 conferences a year which allow us the opportunity to travel to such places as Hawaii, Mexico, Greece, South Africa, and Australia. Since these are business conferences, the cost of this travel is tax deductible. Because our business only requires a telephone and a laptop computer, we can continue to work regardless of our location.

This coming week we will be traveling with our daughters to Houston, Texas, for a conference related to our daughter's business. We will help her with her work, babysit our grandson, and continue to work our own entrepreneurial business. How cool is that?

To top it all off, our goal in the next 6 months is to purchase a fifth wheel travel trailer and new truck to tow it with. This will afford us even more opportunity to travel when and where we like and stay as long as we like without missing a beat with our business.

If your life has gotten a bit boring since your retirement, maybe it's time to give yourself some more choices. There is an abundance of money for you to make, places for you to visit, and people for you to meet. Retirement is no reason to stop being adventurous. Set new goals for your life and make the choices to take your life to a new level.

To Your Continued Success,
