Product Description
For the fastest-growing segment of our population, here is a comprehensive guide to starting and running a home-based business in midlife and retirement.
A baby boomer turns fifty every seven seconds, making what will soon be the largest and most influential senior generation in history. These dynamic seniors have both a desire and a need to continue their working lives past the age when their parents retired.
Boomers have been the primary buyers of more than one million self-employment guides by Paul and Sarah Edwards-and they now have the perfect handbook to take them into the second half of life.
The Best Home Businesses for People 50+ features seventy comprehensive profiles that show how to select, start, run, and build a home-based business suited to the needs, talents, and ideals of the over-fifty generation. Each business listing-for careers ranging in diversity from Makeup Artist to Tax Preparer to Information Broker-addresses the concerns of boomers and seniors, including:
– Businesses that people 50+ can continue working in for 10-15 years.
– Businesses that supplement your retirement income.
– Businesses adaptable to a wide variety of locations.
– Businesses with flexible hours to allow for family, travel, and other priorities.
– Businesses suited to a broad range of health and wellness needs.
Profiles of successful business owners and a treasury of online and simple-to-access resources round out The Best Home Businesses for People 50+ to make an indispensable resource for this new generation of career-oriented seniors.

This is a excellent book but ancient dated. It consists of 70 thoughts that a person might consider in forming their own business and there are some details given on each. I guess it was just more appropriate for someone not in his own business than for someone who is. It’s a book that can be used to plot a career after your done working for someone else. It is informative and gives lots of thoughts. Overall fascinating book and worth a second look. I also like the author’s style

while this book had some thoughts , for many of the jobs you need a certain skill. most of this information is common sense. while it may be usefull to some i found it to be a waste of money.

This book is a fantastic book for thoughts. It also is well organized. It doesn’t really meet all the needs of someone who may be handicapped. At least it didn’t meet mine.

I run a very successful homebased business,and am always reading on the subject.This is a excellent book, but more designed for someone without a corporate or serious business background. It consists of 70 thoughts that a person might consider in forming their own business,and there are some details given on each.I guess it was just more appropriate for someone not in his own business than for someone who is.
As an aside, for someone who does have a business/corporate background,my suggestion is to strongly consider the executive search/recruiting field.(Don’t worry; your niche market will not be the same as mine.) The best most comprehensive founational work on it is Search and Placement! A Handbook for Success by Larry Nobles and Steven Finkel.
Highly worthwhile as a homebased business for someone with the right qualities of personality and background.
