Retire Early
Did you know that the majority of people have a life goal or purpose of “RETIREMENT”? There was a number I heard recently that stated that the average american male dies within 2.5 years of retirement which means that we as a general population are spending our lives working until we pass on from this life. It was also stated that the the average 401K for baby Boomers is $54,000. I fully believe that life is, and was meant to be enjoyed and experienced in positive ways. “Men are that they might have JOY” So how can I retire Early? How can we help my parents retire early?
Gabby and I have been full-time stay at home parents to our 5 beautiful children and also were able to help my mom leave her job working for the school district close to 3 years ago. With her working on her own time and terms it’s been a struggle to see my Dad continue working so hard at his job. He has spent 40 years in the same career fixing at first typewriters and now copying and fax machines. I believe he is the best Service repairman that there is. I remember as a little kid taking machines apart and trying to put them back together as he taught me to fix things. It was thanks to my Mom and Dad for teaching me that work comes before play and how to manage my money when I was little that allows us to begin building a legacy through this opportunity with Team Beachbody.
I LOVE being in the outdoors and that was something I learned by spending time fishing, hunting, camping, and hiking with my Dad throughout my whole life. I get the opportunity to do that WHENEVER I want now a days and when I think to myself, who would I like to do these things with now that we have had this freedom for the past 3-1/2 years, the answer is, my parents. I have BIG goals of seeing the world and going places like fishing in Alaska and I want my Dad to be able to go with me and my sons to experience those things. It would of had to be another 8 years for him to get the vacation time without this chance to retire him early. He has worn out his back and had his knee replaced due to the 40 years of being on the ground fixing these machines and we want him to be able to have the freedom now to do what he wants with his time like my mom gets to as well. I also see huge value in him and my mom getting to spend more time with our children instead of working at a job somewhere <3
I was brought to tears as Gabby and I were able to share with him that we wanted to retire him on his 59th birthday. I think we may have shocked him a little bit that night, but as we let him decide what he wanted to do, he wrote to me these things that helped me know that this was the first way that we are supposed to contribute on some level in a bigger way.
“I still can’t believe I’m writing this, one of my goals and something I promised my Heavenly Father that I would do is to serve a mission with your mom. I didn’t take that opportunity to serve when I was 19 and me and mom would like to do that in a few years. I have been thinking of all the things that I could do and get done after I retire and start up a new business. I really want to put my heart into this beachbody business and work on a transformation. I believe there is a market out there for people of my age. I truly believe that your example of hard work and belief in self will help my business grow. I want to read more of your self improvement books and to eventually get me a website out there.”
ASK ME HOW TO BECOME A COACH ON OUR TEAM
Did you know my Dad changed his Cholesterol levels from 224 to 193 just from replacing his daily eating out at fast food with Shakeology? He also got his HDL in range and his LDL from a 161 to a 132!

Many people have been asking recently why I continue to work so hard on building this business and the answer is simple. My vision of our business and company continues to grow as we grow. I get the most joy and fulfillment growing myself, serving others, and contributing to others. It all started as what would seem small and expanded as we started to believe what was possible by meeting others who had gone before us as mentors. The first goal was to make an extra $10,000 to be able to bring my wife home from working nights at the hotel and we have now grown this AMAZING team of ours to 39,000 people in the US and Canada and are looking forward to one day leading a team of hundreds of thousands.
If this inspires you, of course you can share.
