Life coach helps clients develop retirement strategies.
Not too long ago we wrote about the marketing opportunities in coaching baby-boomers getting ready to retire. Life coach David B. Bohl is already working with that market and is advising clients that retirement can be the “the worst of times or the best of times.” It all depends on planning and a person’s attitudes.
As David puts it:
How you live out your retirement years is totally up to you. It can be the best years of your life or the worst. Of course, barring any serious illness, how you spend these years after leaving the work force can be filled with passion and promise. Your choice of attitude and actions can make the difference between boring or brilliant years.
In his blog article, “Is There Life After Retirement? 5 Secrets to Living Successfully Ever After,” he offers five steps that people can take to ensure a retirement is “the best of times.” Those steps include:
1. Set goals. Take this time to reassess your life. Maybe you’d like to revisit goals you previously set but didn’t accomplish. Goals give you something to look forward to and a reason to get up in the morning, now that you’re not punching a time clock.
2. Develop new interests. These can be activities you’ve never done and always wanted to attempt, or pursuing passions you already had but didn’t have enough time to pursue.
3. Give back. There are myriad opportunities to serve at a variety of different charities.
4. Start a business at home. You may still have a lot of physical and mental energy after you retire and have always wanted to run your own business.
5. Become a teacher, coach, or mentor. You were probably an expert at several things before you retired. There are plenty of opportunities through organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs, the YMCA, Big brother or sister, as well as local public and private schools, adult school, or community colleges.
