Do you find yourself dreaming of your retirement years and what you plan to do with them? Well, today you can learn how to make those dreams a reality as Rob details how he has been able to retire at the age of just 41. Discover today what retirement means, the 5 stages of retirement and how you can easily achieve these.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Retirement is not to do nothing. Retirement is having the choice to do something else. Retirement is the choice to not be stuck in a career working for a company that you don’t want to do for the long term. It is about having the choice to take mini-retirements, start a new business or write a book.   Whether you want to sell your companies or not, they have to be scaleable to be saleable. You need an operations manual, you need a manager or MD and you need to be able to not have to go to the office for weeks. Could your businesses survive without you for months on end? Could they thrive not just survive? Could they scale? If the answer is no then you are not ready to retire.   If you retire and do nothing you lose value and when you lose the value you lose your self-worth. Losing your self-worth means losing your contribution and we need to equally contribute as well as consume. Retirement is having total time freedom.   It is not inconceivable that in a few short years you can reach the asset-based retirement. Reaching this point takes the stress of earning. You no longer need to exchange your time for money and you can exchange your time for ideas, relationships and partnerships.    Systemising your business is letting go to grow. It is making you redundant not reliant. This may be writing an operations manual or getting a manager and a personal assistant. Anything that you do that is tactical or technical that needs your decision making should be documented in a manual. Good entrepreneurs are generalist. They have decent knowledge in all areas of business but they are not the go-to expert in each business niche. If you align with some of the best experts then you can successfully systemise your business.   Retirement created time to do more of what you love. If you rely on the government or an external entity for your retirement then that strategy will no longer work. You need to take full, final and personal responsibility for your retirement. The only person that is going to retire you is you. To allow you to do this early, you need assets, systems, processes, teams, managers and a vision.   BEST MOMENTS “I retired from the old thing, and I started the new thing. I didn’t know that was going to be the case, but you have to be there to be able to test that out.”   “Being valuable is really important for your self-worth for the value that you create to others and for the meaning in your life.”   “People tend to think that nobody could do the job as good as me when actually some people can do it better”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
