Retirement: Is This All There Is?

CORONADO, Calif. - July 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Sue Whitaker’s motto is “If you’re knocked down, let it only be momentarily. For if you’re down too long, great opportunities will pass you by.”

When she became a Senior Citizen, Sue became acutely aware of the many issues people are confronted with before, during and after retirement. Watching Seniors being faced with financial concerns due to economic downturns, loneliness, boredom and lack of purpose, it became apparent that too many were falling into the “is this all there is?” syndrome.

Wondering how she’d support herself to maintain the quality of lifestyle she desired in her retirement years and also feeling a lack of purpose, Sue knew she wanted and needed to make a change. Knowing she had many productive and active years ahead, she stepped up to the plate and developed a “comeback plan to un-retire.”

Her first book -- Job or Entrepreneur? How to Prepare to Un-Retire -- in Sue’s A Senior’s Journey book series -- is a powerful resource for people considering returning to the workforce. The tips, tools and resources eases them through the intimidating process of “un-retiring,” and smoothly transitions their re-entrance as a “Comeback Senior,” whether it’s as an employee, business owner, entrepreneur or even as a volunteer.

Her own enlightening stories, and those of other Comeback Seniors, show that with the right attitude, mindset, contacts, information and training, having a “do-over” can be fun as it gives people a second chance to do what they’ve always wanted to do. Or to find the right fit for a new job instead of settling for less, as they deserve to have their next years be their best years.

“It was important to write Job or Entrepreneur? How to Prepare to Un-Retire to show Seniors they don’t have to wake up every day with the feeling of ‘is this all there is?’ in the pit of their stomachs,” Sue stated. “I want them to know they can start over and become a Comeback Senior without it being daunting and overwhelming. My book is proof you can reinvent yourself at any age, and have a fulfilling, satisfied and happy life for many years to come.”

No neophyte to the business world, Sue Whitaker has owned several businesses throughout her career. She’s also been a public speaker, radio show host, worked with celebrities and professional athletes. And has written political speeches, publication articles, marketing and business plans for numerous companies.

Taking her Senior’s Journey one “step” further...

...with a strong and confident spirit – and by virtue of her goal to help others -- Sue knew she was heading toward something meaningful when she founded the nonprofit entity, Slippers for Seniors, to place comfy slippers on as many Seniors as possible in assisted living or nursing homes throughout the United States.

“It’s my goal to put smiles on their faces to help ease their loneliness and make them feel valued. I want to prove that an act of kindness – no matter how large or small – can make a huge difference to a person in their later years. And that we can change the world of the elderly one pair of slippers at a time.”

Sue intends to donate a portion of the proceeds from her book series to keep the nonprofit alive and thriving. To learn more you can visit her www.slippersforseniors.org. To donate: http://slippersforseniors.causevox.com
