Why A Business Plan?

Many Baby Boomers are beginning businesses later in life. Boomers bring life experience and work experience that you will never get from a book. It comes from getting out there and working.

Perpetual Learning

As I mentioned in my post a couple of days ago, Business 501 From Trump Himself, I believe that Donald Trump remains in a place of perpetual learning.

Business 501 From Trump Himself

Me and My Mom - Common Ground

My mother is 61 years old is at the older end of the spectrum of Baby Boomers. I was born in 1963 and I am at the other end of the spectrum. At 61, my mother is still young to me. Back when I was a child 60 years old was considered old. Not so […]
