Leaving the Rat Race Early

Are you contemplating leaving the rat race early?  Has taking an early retirement and a pivot towards a more purposeful chapter in your professional journey crossed your mind.

It’s a recurring theme in my coaching sessions with professionals in late career.

Before we delve into the specifics, let me assure you – I’m here to provide insightful guidance, not to add to the cacophony of opinions out there.  Instead, let’s focus on the concrete facts.

Are you at the threshold for collecting your social security benefits?

Do you wait, or jump ship now?

Although delaying the process will result in more money, the amount may not be as significant as you think

Now, envision if that monthly support could become the catalyst for your passion project.

Perhaps a consultancy endeavor, a leadership role in a nonprofit, or delving into mentoring – tailored to your wealth of experience.

It could be the catalyst to breathe life into that long-held aspiration.

The pivotal question? Can you transition without being heavily reliant on that monthly boost?

The answer may be a resounding yes.

A strategic consultancy, select projects, and voilà!

This not only bridges the financial gap but also leaves room for professional expansion. What if that part-time venture burgeoned into a thriving consultancy or a sought-after mentorship role?

Suddenly, retirement benefits assume a supplementary role, not the primary focus.

If you’re considering this transformative phase, I invite you to explore my latest video. In it, I dissect the intricacies, offer tailored insights, and potentially ignite ideas for your late-career journey.
