  • How Do I Get Out Of Here?

    How Do I Get Out Of Here?
    Aug 24 2024
    Meet our guest on today's Living The Retirement Lifestyle Podcast - Billy Schwer - long time friend, former world boxing champion and now author, international speaker, entrepreneur and advocate for mental health and wellness. We first met Billy during our years as management consultants before we became online entrepreneurs and remember it well as he had Susan learning how to box🥊 Friendships are forever and we can truly say that about Billy Let's say that today's podcast is both entertaining and inspirational and we hope will think about your life after 50, retirement and what's possible... How he's taken his experiences in the ring and in life and is now helping people with their mental health Who Is Billy? https://vimeo.com/1000761856?share=copy He's a former boxing world champion, he's headlined at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, The Royal Albert Hall London where at 23 he won the British and Commonwealth Titles and at finally at his fourth attempt to become World Champion claimed the coveted title But as he says life doesn't always go according to plan does it? And in defending his title and getting badly injured he made the toughest decision of his career Life as a boxer was over! He was going to retire But as he shares, life changing decisions are tough but then life is very very short too and he shares how the transition from 'Billy the Boxer' to life in the real world after 'retirement' he found very difficult He struggled with his mental health and depression coping with bankrupcy and losing everything he had worked for... even having suicidal thoughts and admits it took him 15 years to sort himself out But he did And he now volunteers for The Samaritans because having had suicidal thoughts he really understands the conversation going on in the heads of those desparate enough to call in for help "The words ‘Mental’ & ‘Boxing’ came together on a very stressful afternoon when I was in the midst of a depressive episode. I knew others were suffering like me and I wanted to find an answer, a solution for all of us. How could I win the mental boxing match that I was having with the voice in my head? It was giving me a good hiding and beating the shit out of me. Having been a fighter – a winner – all my life (I’m a former world boxing champion, just in case you didn’t know), I was used to fighting, but this fight that I was having was a different kind of fight altogether and one that I was losing, badly. I was getting close to being knocked out… for good. Since those dark days (the lost years) I’ve been on a journey of discovery about what it takes to win this fight, to win at this thing called life – and I’m really happy to say I’ve figured something out and I’m happier, more fulfilled and satisfied with my life now than ever before. I want you punching above your weight, winning more often, experiencing more success and looking great while you’re at it" The stresses people are subject to today are almost unimaginable in a modern world where they shouldn't exist How could Billy the champion in the ring be Billy who failed in life? This is the kind of question many of us are asking as we get towards retirement when our careers are ended and "what next" Not failure per se as Billy explains but what happens when we reach that momentous day when we're presented with our long service reward (usually a clock as in our parents or grandparents day) What will we do? Will we still want to work in some capacity or maybe give our time to a good cause or charity as Billy Just remember as you read this you have knowledge and life experiences that could well be what someone is waiting for That's why this podcast and blog is all about helping you reach your full potential when that time comes Thanks for watching / listening or reading and hope Billy's story has given you a glimmer of hope for what comes next...

  • Failures Are The Stepping Stones To Success

    Failures Are The Stepping Stones To Success
    May 30 2024
    Meet our friend Hui Hui Lek from Singapore who became a very special friend during the Pandemic when our lives and businesses had been curtailed overnight. Life virtually became our new everday and social media became our lifeline. We were both taking part in a virtual challenge with the iconic Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi with a focus on using our skills, talents and passions into a business Hui Hui had lost her retail business overnight as her business relied on importing from China and all borders were closed and she was unable to fulfil orders It was a pretty stressful and challenging time but as we know from personal experience sometimes it's those challenges and obstacles that become a springboard to something new and exciting Tune in and listen to her story as she takes you through what happened next It's truly inspiring and proof that with the right mindset, belief and mentorship anything is possible https://vimeo.com/951868599?share=copy We hope that you picked up from her story that when she began her online business she had zero influence and zero audience but what she did have in bucket loads was courage and using a skill she had mastered from the past in illustration After every training she put together what she learned into picture form and shared it with people for free never realising that as she did so she was creating an audience... An audience that has since helped propel her into an amazing business and life We feel very honoured to have met her during the covid years and she gave us inspiration and the motivation to carry on when things looked bleak for us... And likewise inspired by the BIG MAN himslef 3 Things Tony Robbins Said That Changed Her Life If you've ever been in a position where you were challenged and thought you couldn't do something or that someone left you feeling you were not good enough or wouldn't be able to do something let us share what happened to Hui Hui (remember she told us her name made Tony Robbins happy 😀) how the words of Tony Robbins gave her strength and courage to keep going even though she had never met him until this year. We can totally resonate with that and we were lucky enough to meet him many years ago She say "he switches my mindset every time I've had a huge setback in business." A 6-figure coach told her she wouldn’t make it and was in a state of depression, Tony’s voice ring in her ears, “I can’t therefore I must!” When she was in a daze the second day after she started her coaching business and got a call that her Dad was very sick and hospitalised but she remembered Tony’s words, “Things are happening FOR you, not to you.” It gave her the courage and strength to continue... And made her think what must she do so that it’s happening for me? That incident became her biggest motivation to succeed as a coach. Sprinting from zero to 2MM in 2 years. She then I had a meltdown in her 3rd month stumbling over speaking coherently in English even after lots of practice. She recalled Tony’ voice saying, “Believe it will be worth it in the end.” At that time, she hadn’t even met Tony in person and he already had had a huge influence on her We truly hope that hearing her story and the challenges she overcame from losing everything she and her partner had worked for to where she is today actually meeting Tony Robbins and sharing her story with him... That you too will be motivated to put aside all those little voices in your head that Chris calls "fruit salad" And make the leap into the unknown and make a life and an income for yourself that you truly deserve You can read the rest of her story as it unfolds on her social media below and we hope we will meet you in this year's free challenge called "The Game Has Changed" We'll be there alongside Hui Hui and thousands of others ready to make a change in their life We'll leave you with a favourite quote from Hui...

  • Build A Business And A Life Without Limits

    Build A Business And A Life Without Limits
    Sep 18 2023
    Join us with our guest Jo Barnes on Living The Retirement Lifestyle Podcast as we talk about how running an online business has changed over the 13 years we've all been online and how easy it is today to make money online in so many different ways and fulfilling a life without limits... How anything from $500 a month to $2000 can make all the difference to someone's quality of life https://vimeo.com/861953500?share=copy A bit of backstory We and Jo started in 2010 post the recession of 2008 when the internet was in it's infancy with no fancy tools like we have today yet we faced the fear and did it. We neither of us knew if it would work but somehow we just knew it would and we had to try. For Jo it all began one day when feeling stuck and miserable they agreed to house sit for a friend in Cyprus who was involved in something called "internet marketing" With no income and not a lot of savings, they knew they had to start earning fast and this is her story Fast forward to 2013, Jo has been location independent running a 6 figure online businesses for well over a decade now just as we have... her husband too! Their daughter was 4 when they packed up everything and moved to Cyprus and finally arrived in Phuket in Thailand (they've lived and travelled to 40 countries!) where they settled so she could get through her higher education years but today they're ready to get the backpacks out again We talked about reaching 50 - that all important milestone in our lives (we started our online business in our mid 50's) and about "unretirement" - that time when you want to get the absolute best out of the second half of life. How it's very possible to grow a location independent lifestyle business doing something you love that gives you the freedom to work and live anywhere in the world. And it needn't be complicated... Nor does everyone want to be a multi-millionaire even... They just want to be comfortable and not have to worry about money and be able to do the things they dreamed of doing As Jo says, most people can quite easily start a side hustle today and generate some money selling stuff they don't want for example It's one of the things Gary Vaynerchuk talks about in his videos too It's a start and then the thought of other ways of making money kicks in Building a lifestyle business isn't just about breaking financial barriers, it’s about designing a life that literally makes you leap out of bed each morning.  And, as Gen X or Baby Boomers, our age isn't a barrier; it's a goldmine of wisdom and experience that gives our lifestyle businesses their unique edge Talking "unretirement"... And just for fun, Jo shares the famous "unretirement" video of Tom Brady and his NFL friends going back on the pitch - it's very funny 🤣🤣🤣 but it does make the point. We've got years left in us so let's make the most of it! She says that now it's her mission to share her experiences and help others build their own lifestyle business that gives them the freedom to live and work from anywhere in the world whether that be your kitchen table or a beach in Fiji She believes (just as we do) that a lifestyle business is your chance to become a master of your own destiny and to generate an income that funds your ideal lifestyle whatever that is to you For anyone wanting to spend the rest of their life and not working in the traditional way (aka for someone else) she's just launched a brand new course The Solopreneur Success Formula We've been through it and know you will enjoy her relaxed style of training and it will get you on the road to creating that lifestyle business you've been listening to us both share If there's one thing we've both learnt over the years if you want to do something learn from someone who has already done what you want to do We hope that you will be inspired to face the fear and get out of your comfort zone and have a great second half of life ...
