Most people have an idea who they want to be but it is taught out of them.
At retirement or downsizing of a company is your opportunity to seize the golden ring.
You can bring what you have done all your life and now apply it to your passions.
Now you can do what you always wanted to do.
Some are doing their professional career along with their passions.
Always go to your passion.
Your keystone habits affect all your habits.

You´ll be paid at the level that you deserve.
Focus forward.
Get a Google Handout on air. This is just like having a TV show. You can monetize Google Air broadcasting.
You should triple your investment on any training course you take in a short period of time.
Be an early adapter. You need to incorporate technology to make your life easy.
Natural aging of the brain doesn’t happen if you fully use it.
Gray matter shrinks from non-use. There is no aging of the brain. It´s the use that determines in increase or decrease of the size of your brain, not age.
Because a company no longer sees your value, it doesn’t mean you are valueless.
17,000 baby boomers are retiring everyday today for the next few years.
Use the knowledge of your past to set up new applications for the freedom of today.
Once you´re retired, you can apply what you have learnt in new ways by for example, consulting, writing a book, speaking, etc.
With today´s technology, you press a button for broadcast and you´re live. Not like the past.
Look at your life as a work in progress. Having a low ego is best for learning.
You must create relationships with people outside your field.
One of her students said he 9000 failures but 8 successes and he has done well with that.
Keep going, don’t let failure stop you, let it motivate you.
Take post it notes of two colors, use one color for all your skills and list at list 20 skills with at least a few words. Then put then in order of what you´re best at, down to what your weakest skill is. Then write number one to thirty, or whatever number you did. On the other color, write your passions. Again do as many as you like, with the strongest ones first, down to the weakest. You can put it on a spreadsheet if you like, and you want to match your top passions with your top skills. Choose the first seven of each group and match them up. Now figure out what business you can do with these skillsets.
Take this new information and go to a field which you´re passionate about. Tie the two together, and then you will feel that you´re not really working anymore, just enjoying it.
Write a parable about your passion.
Write a book and speak about your passion.
How can you relate what you are passionate about to the world and how can you monetize it.

Do a bunch of live broadcasts and public speaking to your potential tribe.
Passion is realized in different ways by each person.
Before writing a book, do some marketing so that you will know what to write about; market to the people who are already looking for what you have.
If you write a book, you might not have an audience. Get your audience first, and then write the book.
You might think you have the greatest product in the world, but may there´s no market for it.
You can have an idea that would have been great at the right time, but that time has past or your idea will not work until some future date. You are ahead of your time. You don’t want either of these scenarios.
Timing is everything.
The playing field for publishing has become a level playing field.
You need 100,000 plus people in your database if you want to have a national publisher pick up your book.
Depending on what you publish, you usually need a kindle version. 40% of all readers read Kindle versions today, 2015.
Age and type of book could be up to 80% Kindle.
Children´s books and travel books are still mainly in book format, not Kindle.
Have an editor for everything you write.
You also need someone who is good at book development. Lauri Flaquer helps many people with book development.

Most of her students after that year create their own courses and mastermind groups.
