| “When someone asked me why I retired from American Express at 59, my response was that I had worked for the freedom not to work. We work to live, not live to work. I had worked for the freedom to be able to choose what I wanted to do. I chose to have retirement goals that allow me to work on mental objectives, physical objectives, emotional growth, and spiritual goals. I have a goal in each area for each year and then break down my time to reach those goals. The key is to look forward to the wonderful feeling of being able to have new chapters in my life each year and not look back. LifeShift helped me to understand that I could choose to do whatever I wanted. I had lost that feeling after 40 years. Everyday now I choose and it is a wonderful feeling. I take Spanish classes, go for three mile walks each day, read at least three books a week, work with church groups to develop strong lay teams, develop my flower garden, hold four church offices, work as a scout leader, travel with my wife, and play with my grandchildren!” |

| “The emotional and financial challenges of retirement can be anticipated. This program addressed my fears and engaged my spouse in the planning. You don’t take unnecessary risks in business decision-making, so why wander into retirement without planning?” Bob Patterson retired VP of Administrative Services, Tolko currently “Motorcycle Enthusiast” “This program was - and continues to be - a guide for tomorrow. You think strategically and often plan for the future in business, why not for yourself? Why would an astute leader not take advantage of this opportunity to plan for a successful retirement? My wife and I recommend this program and urge you to take advantage of it.” Retired Director of Sales and Marketing |
