Someone told you your best half is behind you.

Maybe it was a job posting that said, “recent grads preferred.” A birthday card that joked about being over the hill or a doctor who said “well, at your age…” before you even finished describing the symptom.

The message, delivered a thousand different ways, was always the same: your window is closing. It’s time to be reasonable..

Deep down, you know this message doesn’t apply to you. This audit is the first step toward proving to yourself that you are ready for the adventure that lies ahead.

The second half audit

In 30 minutes you'll:

  • Know where you actually stand in your journey of reinvention  not where you wish you stood
  • Identify the real fear underneath the practical objections that’s been keeping you stuck
  • Assess what your genuine assets are,  the hard-won victories no 25-year-old can replicate
  • Uncover the one decision that would move everything forward if you made it in the next 30 days
  • Write your own Claimer’s commitment, the sentence that starts it all

“At some point, I realized that all the trappings around me were distractions and obstacles that prevented me from living the life I knew I wanted. This audit grew from that. There is a price for delaying and deferring your dreams. It’s paid for in time. Time you can never get back.”

I was 59 years old. I had a career that looked like something worth keeping from society’s viewpoint. But I wasn’t happy. I still found myself wondering how I had wandered so far from the life I truly wanted. That same year, I dropped everything and moved to Portugal to pursue that life. I’ve never been happier.

Your dream may be different. It may be to start a business, start a new career, earn a new degree, or simply travel. This audit and Built for the Second Half were created to show you that you are better equipped to start your journey of reinvention than you previously thought.

Built for the Second Half and the Second Half Audit are for everyone standing where I was before my decision. Taking the audit is your first step to the life you truly want.
