“Dude! It has been SOOOO long! How you been? What’s new? What’s shakin’?”
This past weekend was the first time I had seen this guy in nearly 10 years.
He’s a friend of a friend. We were in LA for a wedding.
“Oh, man. Not much, ya know. Actually just trying to figure out my next move.
But it’s kinda tough actually. I just have no idea what I want to do.”
He wasn’t talking about his career. 8 years ago he retired in his mid-thirties after cashing out on a liquidity event.
He had achieved Financial Zen! Woohoo!
But there was one problem…
…he hadn’t taken the time or invested the energy to figure out what happens “next”.
So he’s been out at sea, rudderless for nearly a decade.
I know, I know. Must be tough.
But nearly all of our Financial Zen Members are on a path that will inevitably lead them to a similar crossroad.
Some people just float around playing golf a few times a week.
Some go back to work because they get bored.
Some figure it out and live the life they always imagined.
I know it sounds crazy on this side of the fence, but if you’re going to live your best life, you need to start actively engaging in the journey to discover “what’s next.”
I’ve watched people go through it time and again and I can tell you unequivocally – it’s harder than you can imagine.
The more time and energy (and runway) you give yourself to figure it out, the happier your life will be.
Don’t wait. Start now!
