Claim Your Dream Life helps readers design a custom roadmap to create their dream life in paradise - whatever that may mean to them.
In this unconventional book about “retirement”, Claim Your Dream Life, trailblazer Dawn Fleming explains how and why she and her husband, Tom, threw caution to the wind after financial devastation in the 2008 crash.Sailing over 5,000 miles from California to Florida, the couple found their direction in the winds of change. At age 50 and 60, they knew it was probably too late to accumulate that “magic number” in their bank account in order to retire. Instead, they moved overseas and found a simpler, happier and richer life at a fraction of the cost of living in the US. After so many people asked Dawn how they could do it too, she had to teach others how to create their Dream Life in Paradise. She launched the Overseas Life Redesign podcast to share the wealth of inspirational stories from people she’s met who are Living the Dream. In Claim Your Dream Life, Dawn outlines the step-by-step process she and Tom used to turn their dream into reality, along with sharing the success strategies her guests have used. Dawn wrote Claim Your Dream Life to provide a roadmap for others to follow.
