Hints For Baby Boomer Entrepreneurs

Baby Boomer Entrepreneurs, practicing and prospective, you should hear this advice from Mary Anne Nagy. There are many who wait in the shadows to take your money and to give you little in return. Much of what you need to know is in fact available on the Internet, often free if you know where to look.

Your biggest challenge is finding resources who will support you at your level of need. Some people do not have the time to search through the Internet; they will learn through buying knowledge. Others have more time than money and they will search for knowlwdge.

Use the free resources to help get yourself oriented. Then make your decisions about how you will tackle the problem of baby boomer entrepreneurship.

Is it possible that Baby Boomer entrepreneurs and Gen - Y entrepreneurs can serve together as partners? There is much debate about who is better as an entrepreneur. Perhaps the best answer is a partnership that uses the strengths of both generations.

This story describes how one business has done exactly that. They have bridged the gaps in their skills and energies to produce a stronger company.

I encourage you to take a look at their story.

Many of us baby boomer entrepreneurs want to create businesses based upon the expertise we have developed over time. But how do we let people know that we are experts? How do we find the people who need us?

Article writing has been suggested by many sources as the solution to this challenge. But just any old kind of article is not the answer. Sean D'Souza has some specific ideas on how you can do this. And best of all, he is willing to share some of them for FREE!

I have not taken this article writing course yet. But I have taken courses from Sean. They were powerful. If it sounds like something that can help you, check it out.

This post goes a long way toward explaining the desire by entrepreneurs to do significant things. Entrepreneurship is taking new forms. What we are now calling "Social Entrepreneurship" is yet another way to focus upon solving the needs of others.

Independent community pharmacies target the needs of special populations. Often, these needs cannot be handled effectively by bigger pharmacies that focus upon high volume or are constrained by the policies required to manage large networks of stores.

This dose alert program, MyDoseAlert, is an example of a new service being offered by independent community pharmacies across the nation. People do not have to guess whether or not they have take their medication. Their independent community pharmacy will help them remember.

Is it time to support the community pharmacy in your city? Do you want it to be there when you need it?

This post from Austin Entrepreneur Network has a fascinating perspective about the differences between the generations. The most striking comment was: 1) Baby Boomers dream about…; 2) Gen X talks about…; 3) Gen Y lives…

We baby boomers are seeking to become entrepreneurs because we want to make a difference. We don't want to sit around and be a cog, as Seth Godin calls the role in Linchpin. We are starting our entrepreneurial careers to make a difference.

Generation X seems to be saying that they don't want to wait until they are 50 plus to live a balanced life and make a difference. And Gen Y is saying they never want to start being a cog. That way they don'y have to figure out how to give that up.

It appears that we might have much more in common than we realize. Isn't wanting to manage an income statement and get feedback from customers asking for daily feedback? Aren't we wanting the same thing as the younger generations, just in a different form? Perhaps we don't clash. Is it that we are just jealous as we realize that younger generations have been watching us closely enough to figure things out faster than we did.

Baby Boomers are far more involved in the Internet than most people believe. They also adopt technology far more that realized. Baby boomer entrepreneurs, and for that matter entrepreneurs of all ages, must come to realize that baby boomers still make up the dominant market segment for most goods and services.

One of my favorite joys in life is strolling through book stores. That is why December of 2009 will be a time of tragic memories for me. First, Seth Godin predicted the death of bookstores; my favorite chain new book store closed in my community within a week. Now Sean D'Souza is predicting the death of paper books. He says that though they are still breathing, they became terminally ill on December 25, 2009.

Take a look and see why.
