The Retirement Success Profile©

Put an end to your retirement anxiety today!

• Are you unsure about what lies ahead for you in retirement?
• Are you concerned about your expectations and level of preparedness?

Take the Retirement Success Profile and reassure yourself that you are psychologically ready for retirement. If you don't have that feeling of confidence, now is the time to build the foundation for a retirement that is secure and satisfying.

We all want a retirement lifestyle that will give us security and peace of mind, and one that will be fun and fulfilling at the same time. But can any of this be achieved without a high degree of confidence and readiness? The basis of any retirement plan is to know where your values are and what personal barriers you need to overcome in achieving your goals.

The Retirement Success Profile is just the tool you need to put your apprehensions and anxieties to rest, so that you can look forward to a retirement lifestyle of your choice that you will live on your terms.

The Retirement Success Profile was created by one of America's foremost psychologists and experts on retirement Dr. Richard Johnson. Author of two highly regarded books on retirement: The New Retirement and What Color Is Your Retirement, Dr. Johnson is the founder of Retirement Options Inc. an assessment, publishing and training firm offering consultation in mature life planning and retirement. The Retirement Success Profile was developed after 20 years of research and is a scientifically-based and quantitative tool created to help people lead enriched and fulfilling lives in their retirement years. Christopher Fortune has been trained to administer this assessment and to interpret its findings; he has been certified by Retirement Options Inc.

The Retirement Success Profile (RSP) will provide you with a clear, concise, and comprehensive review of your current expectations for retirement and how you are planning for it. It will help you identify and plan for new ways of thinking by focusing on several critical factors in fifteen areas of your life. These include such areas as: career and work, health and finance, family and relationships, leisure and personal attitudes and esteem. The RSP allows the coach to delve more deeply into the personal and psychological issues that affect retirement. It provides for deeper insight and understanding, it offers the opportunity to bring to light the uniqueness of the individual and provides clear definition of those affective and expressive factors that can be the most powerful motivators for success. The RSP is valued because it elevates the coaching conversation to a new level of personal meaning.

While the usual way to administer the RSP is to a single client, the best way to use the RSP is to have both spouses take it. Couples make a retirement team and when both spouses are functioning in unison, the success of retirement is considerably enriched. The RSP is a completely individualized assessment, which neither encourages nor discourages early retirement, nor does it assume a particular type of retirement. There is no right or wrong response to the RSP, in fact it encourages personal diversity and empathy for individual variation. The RSP is not used in groups and cannot tell you when to retire. People who have taken the assessment attest to its value: “The assessment, when undertaken, was simple and straight-forward. The results might have been disappointing, but after they were interpreted…I came away feeling understood, challenged, confident and prepared to face the New Retirement.”

The Retirement Success Profile is easy to take. After you have registered by e-mail, you will be instructed to access the assessment’s web-page and to proceed with the questionnaire. After you have completed the profile, you will be able to print out a 23-page report, which is the report that will be interpreted in a one-hour debrief by your coach. The personal data obtained from the assessment will help you build the best retirement plan for you and your spouse. Finding the best course involves planning in all of the fifteen factors. To create the best plan, you need the best data, and that's what the Retirement Success Profile provides. The results provide a graphical illustration of your attitude and preparation for retirement and proposes areas where you can focus some attention in order to raise that level of readiness and ensure greater success.

As the next step, you and your coach will determine how much you will need to engage in ongoing work. As part of this work, you will be asked powerful questions keyed to the areas most needing attention. From this process, you will create a mission statement for your retirement and a development plan to meet your goals. As your special bonus, you will be given a copy of Dr. Richard Johnson’s seminal retirement study, The New Retirement: Your Mature Career/Life Planning Guide, which is the companion book to this assessment. The book provides detailed explanations and illustrations of each of the fifteen success factors covered in the assessment.

The Retirement Success Profile is a completely individualized assessment, based on a subjective response to questions concerning fifteen success factors. Much of our success in life is organized around these factors of living. The happiest and most successful retirements are ones that find some balance between our expectations and our preparedness. When you register to take this assessment through Retirement Advantage, you are gaining access to knowledge that is available through no other retirement planning process or enterprise. Retirement Advantage is uniquely privileged because of its Retirement Options certification and affiliation to offer you this unique and indispensable tool for planning your future.

Your satisfaction with the results of the Retirement Success Profile and your personalized explanation and debrief is guaranteed. You will be fully refunded if the profile does not meet your expectations and point to a future that will be meaningful and fulfilling.

This is your opportunity to guarantee your success in retirement by ensuring that you are ready to begin a life planning process based on choices that you make and on terms that you determine. Don’t hesitate, act now, and use the simple registration process below to begin planning for the rest of your life.
