The 6 decisions every man over 40 wishes he'd made sooner

A straight conversation about what separates the men who thrive in the second half from the ones who just get by.

There's a version of your life you decided on at thirty, and you're still living it.

And the issue is that most blokes never revisit it.

It’s all too common.

The career is OK, the money's fine, the diary fills itself with work and family stuff.

Then somewhere in your forties you catch yourself wondering whether there's another gear you haven't found yet.

That's not a problem in itself, but it's usually a sign you're ready to make some decisions you've been putting off.

I spent nearly twenty years in the City before I worked out I'd been making decisions by default.

These are the six I wish someone had put in front of me at thirty-five.

I've put them in front of hundreds of men since and the reaction is always the same — recognition, then a slightly uncomfortable silence, then for some, action.

Read it in one sitting, then go back to the one page plan at the end and fill it in properly. Ten minutes with a pen and you'll know exactly which decision you've been avoiding.
