In this episode, I talk with Don Cote, an experienced entrepreneur and coach who has dedicated his “second act” to helping other seasoned citizens to live with greater health, purpose, meaning and joy.

Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:

• First, it’s essential that people rebuild after loss. Don shared how he went from early financial success in real estate to losing everything in the 1990s, and how that difficult chapter ultimately shaped his life’s mission.
• Second, Don’s “LifeWorks Life Mastery System” is a simple three-step framework he developed from Napoleon Hill’s book titled, “Think and Grow Rich.” It helps people achieve their dreams through vision, planning and excellent execution.
• Third, purpose matters in later life. Don outlined core areas seniors often struggle with, such as health and fitness, wealth and income, love and romance, meaning and purpose, and how addressing these areas leads to a richer quality of life.
• Fourth, his Successful Seniors platform is a valuable resource. Don described how his free newsletter, blog and podcast deliver practical solutions to help older adults create income, stay active and maintain a sense of contribution.
• Finally, connection and contribution plays a big role in the lives of seasoned citizens. Don stressed that meaning and purpose often come from helping others, whether through business, creative work or volunteering.

For Don, life after 50 is not about slowing down, it’s about leaning in to what matters most.

His journey from early success, through devastating setbacks, to renewed purpose has given him a unique perspective on how older adults can create deeply fulfilling “second acts.”

Today, Don channels that hard-won wisdom into Successful Seniors Media, a platform he built to inspire, equip and connect to people in their later years.

On his platform, Don offers real, practical solutions that people can start using right away. They may include simple ways to generate extra income, strategies for staying socially engaged or ideas for sharing a lifetime of skills with others.

For Don, meaning and purpose almost always involve helping others. Whether it’s turning a lifelong hobby into a teaching opportunity, volunteering with a cause close to your heart, or mentoring someone who’s just starting out, he believes that when you contribute to someone else’s success, you also enrich your own life.

Don’s ultimate goal is to help seasoned citizens live their later years with vitality, creativity, meaning and joy. He also wants them to leave a legacy that goes far beyond finances.

His vision for Successful Seniors Media is an online community where people over 50 feel valued, supported and empowered to create the kind of life they wake up excited to jump into every day.
