Speaking of “little old wine-makers,” have you ever thought of wine-making as a baby boomer business?
There are several wine-making franchise opportunities available, including “Let’s Make Wine,” which was started by Ann Rosenberg, the widow of Dunkin Donuts entrepreneur Bill Rosenberg. Sean Kelly, over at FranchisePick, recently wrote a post about WineStyles, a new wine franchise […]
As I mentioned yesterday, famous wine-maker Robert Mondavi (pictured here enjoying a glass) died recently at the age of 94. Maybe his longevity could be attributed in part to his consumption of his products. Who knows? But it could also be due in part to working out in the sun, walking among […]
Are Baby Boomers wine drinkers? Or are they beer drinkers? How many Baby Boomers are in the wine-making business?
During my pre-children years, my husband (now ex-) and I decided to be wine makers. We took a course, bought all the stuff, hooked it all up, and put in all the ingredients (we mostly […]
Someone asked me this question today. With Mother’s Day just behind us and Father’s Day coming up, it’s a good time to think about this question.
Do we owe our parents anything for having raised us, given us values, taught us to mind our manners and be respectful? What if we were raised in an abusive […]
My husband is turning 62 this fall. (Bill Clinton turns 62 in August, by the way.)
And it looks like the flood of Baby Boomers signing up for Social Security has begun, with 10,000 a day turning 62 this year. And the Social Security Administration is understaffed, so be prepared to stand […]
Are small business owners optimistic because they are in business? Or are they in business because they are optimists? I’d say “BOTH.”
I believe small business owners are by nature optimists. Even if we are in a recession (which we won’t know until it’s over), many small business owners say business is good. […]
Back in the late 19th century/early 20th there were parlors. We had a house built in 1892 that had a lovely parlor with pocket doors. Then there were formal living rooms, which we paid a lot of money for the furniture for and never used. I remember a home I had in […]
Monday I’ll start a gig as an auditing consultant. I’m working through a temp agency who likes to place people with a high end skill set regardless of age, specifically Resource Global Professionals. I’m sure that there are other similar types of outfits around. I just happen to click with these folks. When you can’t […]
It’s easy to sit back and bemoan the economy and other external factors that may be causing your business to slow down. Pick your excuse here:
People don’t want to spend the gas to get to my business; they have on their “gas faces” (See Talk Stock Trading’s Tisa Silver)
People are on a “recession […]
You’ve know about investment bubbles. We’re are all living through the results of the housing bubble. Of course with the bursting of the housing bubble there is now a new bubble in commodities. It started in oil, but has grown into metals and food.
