Today started with lounging around til noonish, then brunch at Denny's. {He wanted to explore the 55 plus menu, only to end up ordering from the regular menu.} Then it was accomplish a few 'honey do's' . There was some things that have needed done for the business equipment and supplies to get organized. Finishing with being able to BBQ and enjoy a real dinner. To be followed by a nice walk through the neighborhood with Chanelle to end the night.
The last week of work was really hard on him. There was a few days I wasn't sure he'd make it all night. It's a real relief to see him able to relax and rest. We have an event for 2 of the 3 day weekend, then next week it's orders and doctor appointments and product prepping.. I almost have the event schedule booked up to Christmas! So we have much work to do to get products ready.
Total time 'retired' 2 days. His business is now his job and he has to learn to work for himself rather than for someone else. This requires creating habits that are productive, being consistent, and staying motivated. You have to get up every day and do something towards networking and working your business.
We have some business investments coming in the next couple weeks. A few new pieces of equipment, and some wonderful manufacturing products. It's going to be exciting setting up the new production room and getting started. With a scheduled photo shoot at least once every couple weeks, we should have some amazing prints for Christmas!!
Retiring isn't just about leaving your job. It's about making time for the things you really want and enjoy doing.. Life is taking on a whole new perspective.
Like turning onto a new road for the first time!
