Where Did My Dream Retirement Go? My Story
“I always pictured retirement as a time for travel, hobbies, and helping the people I care about. But now? It’s looking more like cutting back and hoping I don’t outlive my money.”
Hi, I'm Stephen.
I spent decades working hard, building a career I was proud of. But as I neared retirement, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. I didn’t want to just rest — I still wanted to contribute, to build, to feel alive. But the world didn’t seem to have space for that version of retirement.
I felt invisible. Unneeded. Like my best years were being quietly filed away.
I looked at volunteering. I considered part-time roles. But they didn’t fully tap into the experience I’d spent a lifetime gathering—and none of them gave me the freedom or financial independence I was after.
At first, I was skeptical about online business. I thought it was all hype — just for twenty-somethings or people with coding skills. But I kept digging, and eventually, I discovered a clear, step-by-step path that showed me how to build something meaningful — a real business, built around my values, my interests, and my voice.
So, I rolled up my sleeves and built a website. I started learning how to reach people online, not by selling to everyone, but by helping the right people solve real problems, and in turn helped me to start to create an income.
Now, I’ve created a 5-day email series, to help people like me, to walk you through what I’ve learned. It’s designed to help you reconnect with what you have to offer — and explore whether building your own online business platform could be your next, most fulfilling chapter.
