Midlife in a baby boomers existance, is the most importantly creative time. It is the crossroads between where a baby boomer has been and where they’re headed. Without rethinking, reprioritizing and recommitting, the chance of living with regret is staggering.

Have to share this funny bit from Kelly Swanson, a LinkedIn connection and kindred motivational speaker:
“Don’t you love it (insert sarcasm here) when you get “invited” to speak for free and told what an honor it is that they chose you. I’m going to try that approach with my plumber Frank.
Dear Frank, This letter is to congratulate you and inform you that you have been unanimously selected to come over and fix my leak. We really respect your work and are pleased to offer you this opportunity to be our guest. We’re sure you’ll appreciate the exposure. Please let me know what date you are available at your earliest convenience so we can get you on our calendar.”
Thank you Kelly for reminding midlife entrepreneurs to stay focused.
As Walt Disney said in 1928, “I was all alone back then, I didn’t even have a mouse”.
I said something similar in 1981. Having a mouse is good for your soul.
