#508 - Wisdom for Our Children - Career and Retirement

This month, as we meander through the different parts of life we are stopping to reflect on certain areas to pass on wisdom to our children. In this episode of the Retirement Answer Man Nichole Mills joins me to discuss career and retirement. 

Do you have a young person in your life who you would like to pass on some juicy nuggets of wisdom? If so, make sure you are signed up for the 6-Shot Saturday newsletter. At the end of this series, we’ll be sending out a carefully cultivated PDF full of sagacity that you can pass on.

Career wisdom for our children

Always ask yourself what you want to be when you grow up. Your goals may change so live your life thinking ahead. What do you want your life to look like in 5 years? Thinking this way can help you meander your way to your vision. 

Continue to build your career capital by displaying your competency, building your reputation as a team member, and building your network. When you are solution-oriented, put in the work, and cultivate an authentic network you will demonstrate your value to your field. 

We’ve got some amazing advice from our listeners. Press play to hear it all!
