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, creating 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 easy-to-access resources round out The Best Home Businesses for People 50+ to create an indispensable resource for this new generation of career-oriented seniors.

• Good For Stimulating Thought, But...
06 October, 2008
I run a very successful homebased business,and am always reading on the subject.This is a good book, but more designed for someone without a corporate or serious business background. It consists of 70 ideas 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.

• Interesting But Dated
22 April, 2009
This is a good book but old dated. It consists of 70 ideas 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 plan a career after your done working for someone else. It is informative and gives lots of ideas. Overall interesting book and worth a second look. I also like the author's style

• This Book Is Changing My Life
18 October, 2009
I have registered in our community college to study accounting because of this book. It details careers that you can pursue from home before or after retirement. Some of the other reviews were not as positive, saying that you can google the information. I disagree -- there is no way you would have time to google all the information that is contained in this book. It is a wonderful resource. If you are afraid that social security just won't be enough, buy this book and get to work on building a second career. This time, it will be from home and you will be your own boss. You won't regret buying this book!
