00:00For me, I also borrowed some practices that were best practices from my professional career.
00:05So in a big company, we have what we call an LRP, a long-range plan, right?
00:10A strategy plan, three to five years out, ten years out, or an AOP, an annual operating plan.
00:15I took that same framework and applied it to my life.
00:20So my husband and I have a life and career plan.
00:23Love that.
00:24Long-range plan.
00:25So literally over 25 years ago, we started to say, you know, what were our long-term goals, professionally and personally?
00:32One of mine was, by the time I was 50 or 55, I wanted to retire from my corporate gig while I was young enough and healthy enough to have other opportunities that were of interest to me to be the priority.
00:45Now, it didn't mean I wasn't doing some of those other side hustles in real time, too.
00:49But I wanted to be financially secure in a way that we could do other things.
00:54And so we built a long-range plan, we worked that plan, we prayed for it, acted on it, did it, and we announced that I was retiring at 55.
