Synopsis

This is a self-help book that asks the question, explains the emotions, agitation, and fears that are associated and provides tips on how to move forward with your goals and aspirations. The main focus is to realize your passion for a "second career" or occupation you might consider after your "initial" retirement. The book points out there will be a sense of fear and anxiety and supplies ways to overcome them while portraying an understanding of psychological considerations. We all need encouragement when we are beginning to embark upon a major change in our lives and this book offers sound advice in entrusting others with our plans and desires. Giving up is easy to do; however, believing in yourself is a strong motivator to get you through the process. Viable sources of information are provided on entrepreneurship and "do's" and "don'ts" when becoming self employed. Information regarding training is furnished as well as resources to aid you in seeking your passion. Issues relating to personal growth and self-worth are addressed in a straight forward format. As everyone is different, this may not be an issue for each individual; however, it will most certainly apply to many.
