Boomers RE-Inventing
Good evening everyone and I hope you had a fabulous weekend.
I happened to be on a phone call early this morning with a group I'm doing a seminar with. There were two men and two women.
An interesting phenomenon happened. Both of the women, upon hearing more about the work I do with baby boomers and re-invention, wanted to know more. One quit her job 6 months ago with the intention of not working for a year and figuring out what she really wants to do. The other has worked in the same industry for 30 years -- is wildly successful in her own business but is now looking at what's next, or what else she might do. I suggested the 3 of us meet for lunch or coffee and get to know each other better.
It made me realize how many zillions of baby boomers there are out there who want to re-invent but don't have a clue as to what, how, when, etc. Obviously there is much work to be done.
How do I, as one individual, reach out to these zillions and let them know I want to help? I mean, really -- I do want to help. I realize how lucky I am to do things I love. And, I know that so many people don't have that experience.
Even at the top of the boomer pack - turning 62, we are young and vibrant and still can do it all. Hillary Clinton is 60 and she's running for President. Look at the leaders of the top companies and the governmental leaders -- they're all boomers.
Last night, while watching the Oscars, I saw how fabulous Helen Mirren looked. She's 62, I think and she's radiant and full of talent.
So, what is it for you? Do you want to go back to school? Do you want to work in an area you've never been involved with? Do you want to paint or act or write? Just make your list -- the list of all the things you've always had in your "someday, maybe" pocket. It's time to take it out of the pocket, dust it off and think about it for real.
You might be saying, "I don't wanna" ... do the work, take the risks, explain to those around me what I really want..If that's the case, join Susan Meyer and I for the "I Don't Wanna" teleclass. It'll be on March 12th at noon (EST). For one hour, we'll explore the I don't wannas that hold us back and how to navigate through them. To register, email me: ann@itsboomertime.com
Point: Don't die with your dreams inside you! Go for it!
I'm here for you. Feel free to contact me, ask me questions, post comments, etc.
Happy exploring.
