    • What is the meaning of life?

    • What makes life worth living?

    • How do many people avoid taking responsibility for their life?

    • How can having a meaningful life help you become financially independent?

  • Retirement Rookie: Worried about a Market Crash Right After Retiring?
    Sep 18 2025

    Being worried about a market crash right after retiring is a major fear for many people both before and after taking the plunge. I often hear these anxieties:

    “I’m scared to retire even though I have enough money in every projection. What happens if there is a market crash right after I retire?”

    “We just retired, but are hesitant to spend money in case we have a market crash.”

    You’re not alone—thousands of people have had the same worry. But does the data actually support this fear?

    In my latest podcast episode you’ll learn:

    • Do we need to worry about a market crash right after retiring?

    • Should we have the same worry in future years?

    • Can I really be financially independent for life?

    • How can I confidently take the plunge and retire when the market might crash?

    • What should you do when the market crashes during retirement?

    • Should I go back to work?

    • What has happened in history with market crashes during retirement?

    • What types of investments most reliably provide a solid income for a 30-year retirement?

    • How can you let go of the fear?

  • Go Big or Go Slow: Why 10x Wealth Is Easier Than 2x
    Sep 11 2025

    ♦Go Big or Go Slow: Why 10x Wealth Is Easier Than 2x♦

    This title may be hard to believe, but it is a common theme in coaching for small business entrepreneurs.

    The concept is from the popular book "10x Is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less" by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy.

    Most of us think about incremental improvements in our lives, not dramatic life-changing improvements. That would require a completely different way of thinking.

    The 10X concept works for entrepreneurs. You can also use the 10X concept to dramatically improve your finances.

    In my latest podcast episode you’ll learn:

    • Why does this concept work for world class entrepreneurs?

    • Stories of how and why it worked.

    • Why can becoming 10 times wealthier be easier than 2 times?

    • How can this idea be used for your finances?

    • What specific concepts can give you 10X wealth?

    • How can you figure out what 10X concepts might be right for you?

    This is a unique post that is a completely new way of thinking. It includes some insight into my mind and my life.
