Are you dreading getting older? Do you want to know how to age well? Do you not know your next steps in life? Want to rewire how you think about aging?
On this week's episode all those questions will be answered. Coach Jason Ballard is joined by Corinne Auman, the president of Choice Care Navigators, an aging and elderly care management and consulting firm based out of North Carolina. Corinne is also an author of the book "Keenagers" that outlines getting the most out of life while aging. Together Jason and Corinne discuss a few helpful notes that can rewire your view on aging. They also discuss the struggle of being an entrepreneur with no prior experience. A few key notes are:
How you view your own aging, positive or negative, affects how well you age.
If you love your job there is no need to retire, but if you don't love your job, think about what your next step will be.
Retirement planning is not all about money, you have to plan for social and emotional aspects of life.
