You may be able to retire, but are you ready to retire with 7-day weekends?

A key question is whether you are planning a ‘hard-stop’ retirement, or just slow down a bit. The nice thing about having options is that you have more choice and control over how you transition from the everyday work environment to a life of 7-day weekends

We help you create your happy new adventure  

After setting up your business, sacrificing many, many hours away from friends and family, you’ll recognise how much energy and time you’ve put into developing your relationships with your clients and their families over the decades; often enabling them to create multi-generational wealth and being seen as their family-friend, attending baptisms, weddings and funerals. This has often been at the expense of your own personal time

The big question is why do you now want to retire?

To lead a less stressful life – do you feel  that work is now a drain on your energy and vitality?

To get away from work and its ever-growing red-tape bureaucracy and focus on your physical and emotional wellbeing?

For health reasons for yourself or for your family?

To finally have some time to enjoy yourself whilst you are still well enough to?

To have the time to start those passion projects you've always dreamed of? 

Retirement doesn’t necessarily mean you need to slow down, although it’s nice to have the option!
