For most of our adult life we define ourselves by our profession, as a parent, or hobbies. We identify as a lawyer, teacher or accountant. We take pride in being the entrepreneur who built a successful company. The plumber who started on evenings and weekends and now employers 20. You should take pride in this. In the dedication, discipline and knowledge gained. Just be aware.

You will stop being this person.

Don’t be the retiree that continues to endlessly talks about their past business conquests, the stresses of their previous career, or how the new generation just doesn’t get it. You have a chance to explore new passions, learn new skills and create a new definition of yourself.

Create that new definition.
