I saw this headline today:

Planners Wanted ASAP - Needed: 50,000 new financial planners, and in a hurry

This article caught my eye.

Maybe it is because I have been in deep conversation with my friend and financial expert Joe Quenneville, http://retirementpitfalls.com/.

Or maybe it was because I just finished my second read of my associate Bill Losey’s terrific book, “Retire in a Weekend” http://retireinaweekend.com/

Or maybe it is all the research and preparation my team has done in preparation for the launch of our amazing new group coaching program, The Miraculous Retirement Coaching Program.

Regardless of the reason, with my fascination with demographic trends, I thought it was interesting that the shear numbers of boomers that are approaching that magical age called ‘retirement’ has, once again, sparked and entire industry into hyper-drive.

You might be interested in what Jane Bryant Quinn has to offer about finding the right financial planner. I have provided the link to the article ‘Planners Wanted ASAP’ below.

Before you go though, I want to tell you that we recently conducted a survey to learn more about what people like you were thinking about retirement.

2 crystal clear indications emerged:

First, those of you who are within 10 years of retirement (baby boomers) are totally clear about what you want in retirement.

Second 81% of you say are NOT sure you will have what you need to do it.

What this says to me is that you are not clear about how you are going to get what you want.

Don’t let anything keep you from learning how you can have it all, exactly as you want it to be.

With sincere gratitude and appreciation,

Steve
