00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:04.679
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of people in my life around my

2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>age are either having health issues or are dealing with

3
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>someone who's having health issues or was older. And there

4
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>was something I was thinking about. It really hit me today,

5
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>so I thought, let me get the microphone and come

6
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to you.

7
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Guys. Welcome to fifty plus. I'm James add Junior.

8
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 1>So I have created and are creating and have been

9
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>creating this business, two businesses, almost three.

10
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 2>Over the last sixteen years.

11
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>And I was thinking about this when I I went

12
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to the doctor and my blowberg didn't come back good

13
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>first time ever. So I don't know what it is.

14
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>As I'm just recording, I have no idea what's going on.

15
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I have some ideas, but I don't really know. I'm

16
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>going to a doctor. Actually, I went to doctor today

17
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 1>as this saera. I'm at the doctor today, so I

18
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>want to find out. But just even before all that,

19
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 1>I started hitting going, Wow, what if I'm surround by

20
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 1>people whose health is just failing?

21
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 2>I go, what if my health? What if I learn

22
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 2>I have.

23
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 1>A diagnosis of some sort that's serious? What do I

24
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>do with my business and stuff?

25
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Is that? It?

26
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Am I done to be pass it on? As anybody

27
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I pass it on to nobody want it? Do I

28
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 1>try to sell a business? Like, I don't even know

29
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 1>what I would do. Does Doug Hes get it because

30
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>he's been so into it, or Tammy Govello or pregnant

31
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Ran or do I get the flobbo? I mean, like

32
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>what do I do? Like, so you say here, you

33
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>can inherit, this is yours. There's all the passwords, you

34
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>do whatever you want with it.

35
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

36
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>That's That's just it's crazy to me because I like,

37
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 1>right now I'm talking to you, I don't feel sick,

38
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like there's something wrong with me. But

39
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sick. So I'm trying to fix parts my way.

40
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 1>So I'm trying to fix that and all that kind

41
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. But it was just like, wow, this is

42
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>like a really real thought, Like there's folks who are

43
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>counting on me. And I was thinking about future stuff

44
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>that I was working on and thinking about, like I

45
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>want to get that huge studio in Indiana and all

46
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>these things I'm thinking about. I'm like, we lost are

47
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>things serious happens where that's it. I have to retire

48
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 1>where I have to go, Okay, it can't work, that's it.

49
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I haven't thought I think about that.

50
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>I guess on some level it's it's it's so it's

51
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>not just mortality, which is mixed in with it, right,

52
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>but it's about my work. That's some job that I

53
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>worked for and I just quit, and that's what I retire.

54
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>It's it.

55
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>This is like my I have unfinished books, I have

56
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 1>unfinished Really does that just all end? Do I still

57
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 1>have dreams? Do they just all stop?

58
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>You know?

59
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 1>It's uh, I'm just getting started. I really feel that way.

60
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>It's like I'm just getting started. And you know, so

61
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I found my passion later in life and I have plans.

62
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 1>So that's the first time I really thought about that.

63
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure anybody fifty plus there's something that you come

64
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to a point when you think about that. I remember

65
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 1>talking to one of my fellow entrepreneurs and she was

66
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 1>hitting sixty. It was a couple of years ago, and

67
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>she was like, you know, how much longer am I

68
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>going to do this? And I understand the pivoting and changing.

69
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I understand the modifying, modification of duties and what you want.

70
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's things I don't want do anymore, like,

71
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>for example, professional organizing. I don't want to I don't

72
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>want to do its organizing owhich anymore. I like it

73
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 1>sometimes because it keeps me kind of hands fresh and

74
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the thing. But getting older, I'm getting tired. I don't

75
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 1>want to do so much. I want to do more

76
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 1>teaching and speaking all I can't have which I'm doing.

77
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 1>So that's something. It's a pivot, right, you go, Okay,

78
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to do less in house organizing, less out

79
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>in the field, more at home. Okay, but that's that's

80
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 1>not you crazy crazy right, But then you have then

81
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you have the other side where it's like, okay, what

82
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>if I'm just getting started and like my media business

83
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and I have like ten more albums when I put

84
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 1>out five more books, like there are things I really

85
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 1>want to red carpets, there's like stuff I want to do.

86
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, that's a different story. There's the first my

87
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 1>ever though about that. Because I have a friend who

88
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>got some bad news and she really is some bad

89
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 1>news and I'm just like, wow, what does that mean

90
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>for me? If I get bad news or news where

91
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it's different from it's different from having hiatsis when I

92
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 1>got when I got the bells palsy. It was a

93
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 1>year I had a year off. My mother got sick,

94
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 1>almost died. It's like six months I've kind of had off.

95
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I had something still out there, but for the most

96
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>part six months because I take a lot of stuff

97
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>in advance, so like, even if I stopped now, I

98
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>have new unreleased stuff that could be released that'll keep

99
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 1>me going for release the rest of the year.

100
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 2>That went after, I would just have to edit and

101
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 2>put out.

102
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 1>But I mean there's things that are already kind of

103
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 1>I have some shows I want released, i'd released themthing like,

104
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>it's all kind of it's all kind of I have

105
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 1>stuff in the vaults. I have music in the vaults.

106
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I could be together if I had to fight. So

107
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like I've been recording forms. I can

108
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 1>getting all this stuff archived and then when and then

109
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 1>I put it out, Okay, something happens. But I was

110
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>so busy watching my mom and watched my brother with

111
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>his different ailments, watching my mom and her go up,

112
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 1>and now I was like, wait a minute, now it's

113
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>my turn, and I have some I know, I have

114
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>some teeth gum issues too. I'm once, say, a dentist,

115
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 1>so you know, I'm getting everything checked. My eyes are good,

116
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 1>though I'm gonna injected. I'm just like, I know I

117
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>have some stuff going on there, so it's like it's

118
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be interesting.

119
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 2>But this is where you start thinking about it. I guess.

120
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Is then at fifty plus when you start thinking about it.

121
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:10.759
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know how you guys at home or

122
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>or do you guys have that answered. I mean, like

123
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I said, unless you're not a creative, or you're just

124
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 1>a person who just as a job and you're like, Okay,

125
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>well I'll quit the job at sixty five and I'll

126
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>retire and I'll live off the money or whatever.

127
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>But me, I have to make money. I have to work.

128
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know how much I would get a month

129
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>if I didn't work. I mean, it's just all this

130
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 2>stuff I'm thinking about.

131
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>But this is all regular stuff, right that we can

132
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 1>think about at this age and this stage in our lives.

133
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 1>We'll be on the street as long as I can

134
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>do this. You posted this is fascinating on some level

135
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.639
<v Speaker 1>to me too. As I'm going through it.

136
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 2>It's the end of July.

137
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe it is the last July Tuesday in

138
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>July I think is it. Let's see, No, we have more.

139
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>We have one more July Tuesday. Dang, I thought it

140
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>was the last one. One more July Tuesday. So I'll

141
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>talk to you next Tuesday again, and maybe I'll have

142
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 1>some answers for you from today.

143
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Who knows, but we will talk again.

144
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Fifty pluses everywhere on audio platforms, and there's.

145
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>A few videos on jilj media on YouTube. Ye
