Values-Based Retirement is the process of, first, clarifying one’s highest-priority values that will drive the next phase of retirement. Those values, then, allow you to create (and allow to emerge) the environments, goals, activities, schedules, that can facilitate a retirement driven by the things you care most about.As of June 15, 2023 I have begun a Values Based Retirement Consulting Practice based on five years of research and then "test driving" this unique approach in my own retirement experience.Services provided include values assessment, goal and activity identification, skills development, and retirement glide path charting.To learn more, contact me at 404-281-1684 or danhayesjr@gmail.comI am now fully retired from Orchard as of June 1, 2021.
