You May Have No Choice http://www.smallbusinessboomers.com/should-you-start-a-business-after-retirement-you-may-have-no-choice/ business advice for boomers Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:05:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Charlie Crystle http://www.smallbusinessboomers.com/should-you-start-a-business-after-retirement-you-may-have-no-choice/comment-page-1/#comment-352 Charlie Crystle Mon, 17 Nov 2008 23:29:04 +0000 http://www.smallbusinessboomers.com/should-you-start-a-business-after-retirement-you-may-have-no-choice/#comment-352 Thanks for the kind words. I'm a big believer in figuring out how to make it on your own--make your own breaks. That's what we're doing--really tough environment but we're figuring out ways to create value. That's going to be the next year or two of messaging from US companies--more value, more economical, etc. Posted about it over here. http://blog.circledog.com Retiring boomers have a LOT to offer younger companies--advice, consulting, insight--beyond a simple product or service. Just make sure you position it as extra value. Another thought--healthcare isn't going away,and there are a lot of well-paid healthcare providers...(now I'm just rambling...moving on!)

Luckily, owning your own business can be fun! In fact, I started my Virtual Assistance business so I could work from home and never retire :-) I think Charlie is right.

I am hesitant to bring it up, but since their care could ultimately fall on me, I sure would like to be kept abreast of their situation.
