What about those of us who don't intend to retire...who wish to weave lifestyle choices into their life and not wait until retirement to enjoy life...who enjoy work...who currently dictate how and when they work...who can't imagine retiring because they need to have projects to work on...who have very big goals and need at least one decade to see their ideas come to fruition...who have just made a major career change that will has taken 7 years (+3 more years to become Chartered) and are now just getting started...
What if your goals are so massive you need an asset base in the tens of millions...do the same principles apply? Can this be realised in 5 years? In any case, I don't intend to take no for an answer...I've been listening to Earl Nightingale...

HI M
I can only imagine the principles are the same but on a larger scale. The benefit of starting small is to ensure your mistakes/problems are of the same scale. The unexpected can stop you in your tracks & if the success of your project is soley dependent on you, this can also stall.
The quality of your focus, time management, tenancity, passion, sophistication, energy, determination, team, goal setting, communication, risk management, organisational skill, problem solving ability, and skill mastery will determine whether or not your goals are achieved.
Retirement is a choice, as is one to be actively involved, contributing to others, learning, and actioning your areas of passion to the best of your ability to achieve your life purpose. In this context, I also support the non-retirement path!
All the best for your journey
Regards
David
Why don't you think of it as financial freedom rather than retirement....
