My husband died two years ago,, At age 82, and after being married for 63 years, I had to reinvent myself to manage in my new world. So, in answer to your question, my answer is yes, but it does take commitment and energy.

Loved this piece Shaun. We all fall prey to inertia & inaction. Reinventing ourselves is the biggest contribution we can make to the future version of us.

"For example, perhaps next year you will make an attempt at content, only to discover that a specific topic truly interests you. You then leave the content world behind and start a company, only for it to fail as a business. Yet the result is that you have become a subject matter expert. The true success, wealth, and opportunities stems not from the content or the business, but by having you speak and consult on the matter."

Nice, encouraging one!
