Below are some notable quotes from our talk.<br> Aaron Walker’s Journey to Retirement<br> What Does Retirement Means to You?  <br> “I won’t ever retire. I may slow down but I love building…”<br> “Retirement means, I just want to be safe because I may not be able to work.”<br> “I don’t want to quit, but I do believe we should have common sense.”<br> What Are You Most Excited About Retirement?<br> “I’m excited I’m able to help ordinary men become extraordinary…pouring knowledge and whatever little bit of wisdom I have into others.”<br> What Are You Most Worried About Retirement?<br> “What creeps up sometimes is the fear of not being healthy.”<br> “Recently I started paying attention to my health…I’ve lost 40 lbs since November 1st.”<br> How Do You Think You’re Doing?<br> “I’m a big real estate guy, 75% of my retirement is in real estate.”<br> “I wish I’d saved a little more cash.”<br> “I worry sometimes if I’m balanced properly.”<br> Who Do You Use in Your Life to Help Make Smart Financial Decisions? <br> “For the most part, I’ve done it for myself, that’s the reason I’m not as balanced as I should be.”<br> What Has Been Your Worst Financial Decision?<br> “I’ve never blown money, I work to hard to make it.”<br> “It’s simultaneous with one of my biggest successes. It was when I was 27 years old and I sold my business.”<br> “Looking back now, I think I probably could have parlayed that into something larger.”<br> “I didn’t know I was going to get bored as fast as I did.”<br> “I came from a very poor family…when the opportunity came along, it was the most money I could ever imagine.”<br> What has been the Hardest Thing to Deal with Personally in Managing Your Finances?<br> “In managing my finances, I’m self reliant and I probably should have been looking outward more and seeking more expert advice.”<br> What Resources Have Had the Most Impact in Your Life?<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Essentialism-Disciplined-Pursuit-Greg-McKeown/dp/0804137382/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1430442366&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=essentialism" target="_blank">Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Doing Less</a><br> * <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1430442409&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=how+to+win+friends+and+influence+people" target="_blank">How to Win Friends and Influence People</a><br> * <a href="http://www.amazon.com/NIV-Church-Bible-Zondervan/dp/0310411009/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1430442464&amp;sr=8-7&amp;keywords=the+bible+niv" target="_blank">The Bible</a><br> * <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks" target="_blank">TED Talks</a><br> * <a href="http://info.viewfromthetop.com/iron-sharpens-iron-mastermind-experience" target="_blank">Mastermind groups</a> “absolutely a game changer for me”<br> <br> What Do You Want to Be Remembered for?<br> “I want to be remembered as the guy that helped others achieve their goals and dreams.”<br> ‘I want to be remembered as the guy that stops waiting to talk and fully engages.”<br> Free Resources From Aaron Walker to Help you Find Meaning<br> <a href="http://info.viewfromthetop.com/ram" target="_blank">Click Here to Get Aaron’s Free Resources</a><br> <br> * A Personal Assessment<br> * What Do I Want?<br> * Steps to a Productive Day<br> <br>
