Willpower alone will never lead to success. It certainly won't help you create a successful Encore Career. You need more than willpower–you need habits. Go here to listen → Today, I want to talk all about healthy habits and how to implement them. To help me do so, I'm going back over some ideas from the study, " Longevity and the New Journey of Retirement " by Edward Jones and AgeWave.
