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 […]
In my previous posts about bed and breakfasts as baby boomer businesses, I talked about what it takes to start a B&B. To be successful in this business, like any other, you must market. It’s not enough to have a “better mousetrap.” You must figure out how to let people know […]
My husband has a pension coming to him. I don’t. I have some 403b/IRA money in place, but I’m concerned that I will outlive it. So I have spent some time studying annuities, talking to people about a variable annuity that I “can’t outlive.”

You can win new office furniture for your business and the businesses of those around you. […]
My daughter is looking for a job as she finishes up a Master’s program which has put me in a mindset of job hunting. It’s my usual mindset because I’ve been in sales most of working life. Everyone should realize that they are employed “at will.” Read those words to mean at the will of […]
As all boomers know “The times they are a changin’”. What with all the troubles in the sub-prime mortgage market it looks as if the housing slump looks like it will go through this year. Not good. A prolonged slump in the residential housing sector will cause a slump in the general economy. May be a recession […]
http://www.linkedin.com/home This is the link for “Linked In” which appears to be your personal networking site. My son sent this to me and though I haven’t gotten into every nook and cranney it appears to be very cool. Take a look. Tell what you think.

The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee is holding a one day conference on boomers and work. The web site is www.sce-boomer.uwm.edu .
