What does the Retirement Satisfaction Survey measure?

The survey evaluates retirement readiness and satisfaction across six critical dimensions that go beyond financial and health considerations: identity and purpose, daily structure and time use, social connections, continued personal growth, emotional wellbeing, and organizational transition understanding.

Who should take the Retirement Satisfaction Survey?

Leaders approaching retirement who want to evaluate whether they are making the right choices. And leaders who have already retired and are experiencing dissatisfaction or lack of purpose and want to understand specifically where the gaps are.

How is this different from the Individual Transition Readiness Assessment?

The survey is a quick diagnostic designed to surface where the satisfaction gaps are. The Individual Transition Readiness Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that measures personal readiness in depth. The survey is the starting point. The assessment is the deep diagnostic.

How is this different from the Retirement for Business Owners Course?

The survey measures where you stand right now. The course teaches you what the retirement process requires and how to prepare for it. The survey is diagnostic. The course is educational.

What do I receive after completing the survey?

A Retirement Satisfaction Report highlighting scores across six dimensions, identification of strengths and weaknesses, areas requiring attention, and guided next steps based on your specific results.

Why Measure Retirement Satisfaction

Money does not create purpose

Financial security removes one concern. It does not replace identity, structure, or meaning.

The role changes more than your schedule

Retirement changes identity, relationships, routine, and how you spend your time.

Gaps are easier to address when you can see them

The survey gives you a structured baseline before dissatisfaction becomes the new normal.

What the Survey Measures

Six dimensions show where retirement satisfaction is strong and where gaps remain.

Identity and Purpose

Whether your sense of identity and purpose extends beyond the professional role.

Daily Structure

Whether your days have enough structure, rhythm, and purpose.

Social Connections

Whether meaningful relationships and social connection extend beyond the business.

Continued Growth

Whether learning, challenge, and personal development remain part of your life.

Emotional Wellbeing

Whether you are emotionally prepared for the loss of role, routine, and professional relevance.

Organizational Transition

Whether the business is prepared enough for you to step away without being pulled back in.
