Building a business while growing a family is a very challenging role because we have to nurture all relationships â with the spouse, the children, clients, employees, providers, and the public to keep all situations flourishing and worry-free. Others find it a difficult role so they either choose to do one thing first before adding the other â which means, build a business first and once it has grown then build a family next; or vice versa; raise a family first then build the business later. Positive relationships at home and at work are the key to a successful business. This consequently leads to happiness and fulfillment. Itâs critical to maintain and nurture these relationships with people we work with and do business with.

Many young couples dream of owning big homes because part of their dream is to have enormous space for their growing family. However, if you own a big home you also have to deal with expensive upkeep, big realty taxes, and huge worries on paying an army of housekeepers, handyman, landscaper, gardener, communication network technician, and perhaps security personnel. To keep up with the cost of keeping a big home, you have to work awfully hard to earn big so that you can pay your big bills. Moreover, privacy can be compromised because of the presence of a maintenance crew. Family bonding is also adversely affected when there is a problem of tracking down family members. When they are out of speaking (or shouting) range, family interaction is reduced to text messaging or intercom chats.

Killing Retirement encourages people to pursue the life theyâve always desired after decades of working in their government or corporate jobs. Your senior years is just the beginning of realizing your biggest dreams. Itâs called the shift to âDesirementâ. Desirement is the time you stop your 9-to-5 hard work and start enjoying life fully and yet never worry about money.

Everything you know about money - or think you know - is a story...and potentially a lie. You've lived your life thinking you knew what the game was -- work hard and make money - but you'd be missing a very important piece of the puzzle. In this episode of Killing Retirement, guest Robert Scheinfeld talks about how we create our reality (including our financial reality) with our minds. Our life experience is a illusory game created by what he calls our 'Expanded Self' - a larger, omnipotent creative intelligence, of which we are just a small aspect. This 'Human Game' is divided into 2 phases: Phase 1, which most people are stuck in, and Phase 2, which is the object of the processes in this book. Phase 1 appears to have rigid rules, and was purposely designed by our Expanded Self to convince us of our limitations and lack of power. When we are ready, we enter Phase 2, in which our Expanded Self leads us through the process of reclaiming our personal power and then 'busting loose' of the game. After busting loose, our desires & goals (including money) will fall into place with little effort, and we might even experience seemingly 'impossible' events, as the illusory nature of reality becomes apparent, and life no longer has to follow the usual rules. Ready to dive in?

Whatâs risky and whatâs not? In our third episode of âKilling Retirementâ, entrepreneur Josh Latimer had it all. A successful bankerâs position with JP Morgan Chase, a lovely wife and a baby on the way. Why, then, did he think it was the perfect time to take a leap and start his own window cleaning business? (His own mother wouldnât even talk to him for a whole week afterward.) Quote of the âCast: âI just decided that I couldnât live like that. I left that job to start a window cleaning business, which is a very weird business. My own mother wouldnât talk to me for a week; in fact, she was so upset because in this traditional mindset, itâs so risky to do this type of thing. Itâs such a huge leap, but through a series of mentors and people that invested in my life, little by little I built a really, really nice business. For me, Iâm not passionate about window cleaning, but I was passionate about lifestyle. I was passionate about being intentional with the time I spent with my wife, and the time I spent with my children, and having some flexibility in the way that I would do stuff with my day.â
Our second episode of âKilling Retirementâ digs deep into the question: âwhat do you want to do with your life?â and (more importantly) WHY? Charlie Epstein's goes, Dr. Joanie Connell focuses on the group of parents she calls âhelicopter parentsâ and the children that come from that parenting style.
Quote of the âCast: âIâm finding a lot of people that get to the workplace and they werenât as happy as they thought they would be because their helicoptering parenting and teachers have been promising them that thereâs a wonderful light at the end of the tunnel after they work so hard during their childhood. They get out there and find that theyâre at the bottom of the ladder in the corporate world. Theyâre not having these amazing jobs that they thought they would have and very dissatisfied that the work is a little bit more boring than they thought it would be a lot of times, more tedious, and just not prepared to do these kinds of things because their parents have been helping them out so much as they grew up.â
As part of âKilling Retirementâ, weâre seeking out answers for people who are just starting out in life as well as folks who are mid-career or closing in on retirement. What if you could start your working life off with the understanding that from true passion brings true reward?
In this, the inaugural episode of âKilling Retirementâ, the podcast that helps you shift from our current understanding of retirement (wait until your 65 to live the life you really want to live) Charlie Epstein, prominent financial advisor and sought-after keynote speaker to the financial industry, offers a new paradigm: why not kill that notion and build the life of your dreams today?
