If you’re into sports – or even if you’re not – you’ve seen somebody at some point hit a buzzer-beating shot or get a last inning game-winning hit or sink a match-winning putt. Can you even imagine how that must feel? If you’re at all like me, you occasionally scratch your head and wonder, “Where are those moments in my …
What Is Your Enough Number? This week I’ll share with you a very simple idea that may change your life. Yes, I said it may change your life. I don’t say that often, but I think it fits here.

The class I teach is called Retirement Elevated and we created it help aspiring retirees better prepare for the challenges and opportunities of retirement.
