We owe it to them

You and I have an obligation. We have lived a fairly long time. We have learned a lot both by doing and by not doing. We have accumulated a lot of wisdom and we owe it to our world to pass it along.

It’s called leaving our legacy.

What have you learned that you want to pass forward? What is that passion you still hanker to fulfill? Whatever your age, now is the time to honor who you have become and share it with others.

I don’t believe in retirement. I believe we all want to be productive and feel we are contributing. I’m just suggesting we get cracking and make it happen.

Your second business

You can start your second business even before you leave your first one. Look at your hobbies. Look at what people continually ask you for. Look at what you’d like to learn next. Those are your guideposts to your second business.

A 25 year old professional cyclist has come into my life. He can cycle for another ten years or so. I asked him what he saw for his future after that. His passion is so deep that he already knew it centered around a bike shop or cycling. But there are so many other things that might show up around his passion if he keeps open to them.

My 60 year old son-in-law has been a high school teacher all his life. He is great at it and loves young people. He also likes computers. I’ve been talking to him about the many ways he can package his knowledge and turn it into passive income.

Whatever your scenario, pull out your vision and create a business plan to make it happen.

The Digital World

Because of the internet everyone can write an ebook and make it available. Because of the internet we can now reach clients and customers all over the world. The potentials are boundless, the opportunities to be in service enormous, and the potential for passive income impressive.

How to fashion your “next”

Write down the things you love to do. Start looking for places those passions and skills can be in service. Look at products you can create or teleclasses you can teach that will add interest and satisfaction to your life. It’s never too late to get your Second Wind!

Sometimes, people can't help but be swept away by their current focus. they limit themselves to just doing one specific thing or to operating one business only. However, your post encourages just the opposite. People can take up a hobby and turn it into a second occupation.
