"How does one approach a life changing decision like starting a new business at 55 years old or selling the home you've been in for 45 years - with caution or gusto? In truth - a lot of both. First you have to take a deep breath and dispel the demon brain chatter and honestly look at yourself from the outside in, look at who you are at this moment in your life - not who you were 15 years ago or who you thought you'd be by now. We create ourselves day to day, building on the day before. The truth is you want change. You want to become someone other than who you are now. It's part of life and embracing change. It's a time of truth - maybe for the first time in years. Examine what serves your life, now, remove the rest. Cut the anchor of guilt, of shame, of hobbling self doubt. Here's how you do it..."
