    How do you know it is the right time to retire? What do you have to consider when you have your own business and need to think of succession planning? Everyone is at a different stage of retirement planning and has a different view of what life in retirement can be. Rewiring your retirement takes an old idea of retirement and replaces it with something better.

As my guest Susan Latremoille noticed, it was the non-financial side that had the greatest impact on the predictability of a successful retirement.
