For many contractors and entrepreneurs (yours truly included!), retirement is a scary concept! With Bundy, Dennis, and Bill B. departing PCA in the last three years, retirement is suddenly much more a concern for us than it had ever been. While retirement has different definitions for different people, it nonetheless represents the beginning of a different era and way of life.

Please tune in this week as Wayne details great advice from Arlin Sorenson’s blog about how to think through and prepare for your eventual sayonara from the full-time work world. Arlin offered six thought provoking questions to help prepare your mind and heart for retirement, and Wayne adds one of his own.
