This time last year I made the decision
I have enough, I’ve had enough and I’m ready to do the things I want to do, not the things I have to do.
After 38 year I’ve decided to stop traditional work. The next 30 years are my third act. Lets see what happens!
Friends asked me if I really intended to stop work altogether. How could I just stop at the pinnacle of my career? What was my purpose? Did I have a plan?
Of course I had a plan. I spent 3 years making sure financially I could do it. Stephanie and I worked through both our financial goals and future goals for time well spent. Stephanie supported my process and in the end it became clear to me that this was what I wanted to do.
Sales is a very intense job – at least the way I approach it. That first job at CPT was not ideal but in many ways it was. I met two of my best friends there – to this day. My boss, Darwin Kelley called me his secret weapon. Who knows that he really meant but it meant something to me. From that moment on I put everything into my work, I wanted to be the best and I wanted to provide for my family. I wanted to go places, meet people, achieve goals and create a life for Stephanie and me. We did it together and I believe I had an exceptional career.
As I work through the process please don’t hesitate to reach out. These next six months will be exploratory. I’ll have coffee with friends, rekindle old passions, explore hobbies and maybe make them something more than that. Call me, text me, email me – I’m free.
