Question to Self: Do I have the courage to act in response to the new rules of life in this "Great Disruption"?

RoH (Return on Heartbeats): More joy and a sense of abundance.

Potential Failures: (1). To flex into resiliency. (2). Inability to re-invent oneself.

Super Zoomers - those of us 60 plus years old and still engaged in our careers.

Peter Thomas - 71 years old, just come out with a book. Be Great.
John Wooden, 99 has a new book on mentoring - A Game Plan for Life.
Warren Buffet - bought a railroad to play with and make money.

More Super Zoomers have had to re-examine our concept about retirement. Many of us have chosen "pro-tirement" (not being employed but rather choosing to be engaged on our own terms)as a result of; (a) the recent economic melt down of this "Great Disruption and/or (b) because we want to be actively involved in making a contribution as an antidote to a slow erosion of our mental, physical and spiritual energies.

Zoomers - men and women 50-60 years old and still vitally "doing the deed."

David Haber, Austrian Consulate and Trade Commissioner in Vancouver.
Leslie Meingast, CEO - the Galt Group of Companies.
Richard Branson - CEO of Virgin.
Bill and Melinda Gates - giving back.

Zoomers' challenge is keep alive and sharp, because they too are (a) affected by the economic "Great Disruption" and (b) most will be in the workforce for the 5-10 years. This is not a time to allow oneself to lose the vital energy needed to stay sharp and feel the satisfaction of a life and career well-lived - as well as have fun.
