Have you ever wanted to be:
An alpaca rancher?
A bed and breakfast owner?
A chef?
A dude rancher?
An interior designer?
A private investigator?
A sailing boat captain?
A wine bar owner, vineyard owner, or wine retailer?
There are many […]
Like other baby boomers in business, I talk to people in the same profession. A doctor told me about this dilemma and asked for my advice:
A patient who is a travel agent had been coming to this doctor’s office for several months. When he asked how she was doing, she occasionally bemoaned the fact that […]
One last comment on my series on Bed and Breakfasts as businesses for baby boomers. In my interview with Linda Stroup from Olde World B&B, she mentioned that some B&B owners get “sitters” or caretakers to take care of their business while they’re gone.

Memorial Day signals the “official” start of the “vacation season.” So what are your vacation plans this year? Will you be taking a vacation? Where are you going? How long will you take? How will you keep your business going when you’re gone?
According to a recent American Express survey, […]
I’ve done a lot of traveling over the past years, and for a while I spent a lot of time traveling through Orlando’s airport. What a zoo! All those families with Disney backpacks, Mickey Mouse ears, etc. It’s not that I don’t love Mickey and the gang; I just don’t want to […]
