Develop a Feasible Plan
for Lucrative Semi-Retirement
For Baby Boomers Who Want to Kick Back
and Capitalize on What You Know...
In past generations, reaching
60, 65 or 70 in decent financial shape meant
being able to stop working. You'd then hit
the links, play canasta, read at home in your
easy chair or quietly go stir-crazy.
Now, however, with droves of
Baby Boomers reaching traditional retirement age
in excellent health, a long
bucket list and plenty of energy, it's time for
something other than the binary "on/off" switch
when it comes to work. If you're
interested in continuing to work a bit while
earning a lot more than a bit on into your
70s and beyond, read on.
With the hundreds of books
devoted to creating a fulfilling retirement and
thousands of financial planners counseling
clients on how to prepare for their golden
years, you'd think someone would be touting a
blog, books, courses and coaching to help
knowledge-based business owners (experts,
authors, speakers, consultants, trainers,
coaches, online
publishers) profit from what they've previously
done while no longer pursuing business
full-time. Neither in the ranks
of career experts nor among financial gurus
could I find people who reject the "on/off"
retirement paradigm and who discuss the details
of restructuring a knowledge-based career and
turning past work to new advantage. Sigh.

A New Kind of Non-Retirement: "The Semi Solution"
Although I wish someone else had figured this
all out for me, I've identified a boatload of
possibilities and components for downshifting
and exploiting business assets. I invite you to
join me in a program where I help you identify
assets to put to new use, then explore options
and develop a customized plan for your smart
semi-retirement. In a
small group, we start with what you have to
build on, discuss a wide range of earning
options and passive-income models, then zero in
on what best fits the experience, assets,
desired lifestyle and financial goals for each
of you. After four group coaching sessions
and homework assignments between our meetings,
you continue to have access to your fellow
travelers in a private online discussion forum
and can further refine your plan in a one-on-one
with me. You end up with
your very own profitable semi-retirement
blueprint, a manageable list of to-do's and a timeline for implementing it
all.
"This course
opened my eyes to a lot of
possibilities and made me
realize how much I didn't really
know. The resources Marcia provided
were extremely useful, and I spent
hours going through the sites and
taking in the information. All this
got me inspired enough to actually
put my ideas into action. I
appreciated Marcia's laid-back style
combined with her awesome knowledge
of the material. In taking this
course, I made a great investment in
myself, and I recommend it if
you want to follow your passions
while generating income for your
retirement years." - Judith Snyder,

How We Proceed Step by Step
Each group coaching session
lasts 60-75 minutes, and you participate by
telephone, with international call-in numbers
available for 50+ locations around the world.
All sessions are recorded, so you don't need
to worry if you miss one or two of them.
Here is the agenda for each
of our coaching sessions, to be adjusted as
needed to fit the interests and aims of
participants.
I. What You Have to Work
With and Your Goals
Here you clarify your earning and work
schedule objectives. An open-ended
questionnaire helps you
identify and assess the knowledge and
intellectual assets that you can capitalize on
for your semi-retirement. You'll probably
discover that you have much more to work with
than you may have thought! II.
Passive Income Models for Lucrative Semi-Retirement
During this session you hear about six types
of passive income that knowledge-based
businesses can be set up to earn, with bountiful
examples and resources and the advantages and
disadvantages of each income stream.
Options for "in your sleep" revenue
may be much more intriguing and lucrative than
you'd believed.
III. Active Income Models for Lucrative Semi-Retirement
We go on to discuss six types of active
earning that lend themselves especially to
scaled-down effort and reasonable rewards. In
addition, as time allows, each participant receives
feedback from the group and me on the plan
you're developing. We help make sure
you're realistic, focused and excited about
where you're headed.
"Marcia's program
on moving into semi-retirement for
entrepreneurs and solo practitioners
is practical, thorough, and based on
professional experience. The
detailed, rich information about
passive income streams was most
valuable to me. It saved me hours
of research into the many types
of passive income I might pursue,
and her summaries of the advantages
and disadvantages of various options
saved me the task of trying to
identify what they might be.
"Even if your retirement seems far
in the future, think about the
advantages of looking ahead and
beginning to set things in motion.
And if you are ready to retire or
even retired already, Marcia's ideas
on passive income and scaled-down
earning options can help you add
an income stream and engaging
activities you might not have
considered." - Lynn Gaertner-Johnston,
Seattle, WA |
IV. Psychological Challenges and Implementation Gaps
Find out what's different psychologically
about cutting back in your career, and get
prepared for the distinctive challenges of
semi-retirement. We get down to the nitty-gritty
of what
else you need to know and what kind of
assistance you need for your plan.
I share lessons I learned about easing off from several months-long sabbaticals and
five years of wintering in Hawaii.
Discussion Between Sessions
Between sessions, we continue dialogue,
discussion and discovery by sharing ideas,
questions, answers and homework on a private
online discussion board. Many people find
this kind of exchange and support invaluable.
Your One-on-One Consultation
In addition to the coaching sessions and
online discussions, you receive one hour of
one-on-one advice and feedback from me, which
you can schedule any time through December 2017. I give you reality checks,
suggestions and how-to's to help you refine and
implement your plan intelligently.
How-to Resources
To help you leverage your knowledge, you get
three practical manuals filled with detailed
strategies and procedures for creating and
marketing information products, along with
resource-packed handouts. How Much?
When? Is There a Guarantee?
The live coaching sessions
take place on four consecutive Thursdays
at 2 pm Eastern time (11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, 7 pm London time). The dates are
June 8, 15, 22 and 29. If you can make any
three of those dates, you'll get full value from
the program because you can catch up with the
fourth by listening to a recording. There will be no
more than 10 people in the group, and the program costs $897. If you prefer a payment
plan for the fee, just let me know and we'll
work something out. Your double
guarantee is as follows: (1)Attend
the first scheduled coaching session, and if it
doesn't seem right for you, let me know
immediately afterwards, and I'll refund
everything you paid. (2)If you've
participated fully in the program and haven't
yet reached the point of having your customized
semi-retirement blueprint by the end of the
schedule described above, I'll continue to offer
support until you've reached that
point.
"Thanks to this
course, I got a clearer perspective
about where I'm at in my
semi-retirement situation, what to
focus on now, what might be
opportunities later and what to not
focus on at all. I appreciated the
resource materials Marcia provided.
They were well chosen, and the way
they were set up allowed me to 'deep
dive' where I needed to and skim the
rest." - Brien Charlton, Edmonton,
Alberta |
Is It for You?
Although you're probably age
50-70 if this program has caught your interest,
there is no age requirement, and I won't ask
your age. You should be either
a current or past business owner/self-employed
or someone with specialized knowledge you can
redeploy. You're probably an
author/speaker/expert/consultant/coach/blogger/online
publisher - but that too is not a requirement.
You can be based anywhere in the world, as long
as you can communicate in English. If
you have questions, please
don't hesitate to ask. If
the program appeals to you, but the timing isn't
right for you,
let me know so I can put you on a priority
list to be notified about the next offering of
this program. And if you need
a payment plan, we can probably work something
out. How to Sign Up
Reserve your spot in the
June class by paying a $200 deposit
now. The remainder is due no later than
June 1st.
