Life Events Happen

August 25, 2020

Ever Wonder Where To Turn When Experiencing a Life Event?

Have you ever had a "Life Event" happen to you?  Of course you have.  Life Events are not only the "Big" things, but rather they are the normal everyday events that happen to us as we go through life.  But oftentimes the first time we face a specific event, we may not really know how to handle it or what to do.  Life Events such as:

  • Losing a job
  • Dealing with Aging Parents
  • Getting a Pay Raise or Promotion
  • Starting a Business

Life events don't even have to be BAD.  They can be good events as well and whenever we are faced with a first time Life Event, wouldn't it be nice if we had a Checklist or a Flowchart that could help us navigate through the complexities?

We do!

I've created a number of Checklists and Flowcharts that can be used as a guide or a tool.  Check out my website here, for the list of Life Events and if you would like one, click on the link and I'll send it to you.  https://www.reardon-associates.com/important-downloads

And if I can be of help in supporting you through the Life Event you are facing, for both the Good and the Bad events, THAT is what I"m here for.

Keep this page bookmarked for future reference, as I will continue to create additional Checklists and Flowcharts over time.  I hope you find them valuable!
