We’re over 50, and we’re not retired.  

We’ve been in the business world and decided we’d rather be flexible and work at home.  In today’s economic climate that seems like a good choice.

Being an entrepreneur over 50 comes with its own challenges.  One of those can be learning the computer.  Neither of us grew up in the computer age so we’ve had to learn to market and connect with people using the Internet. 

I’ve learned, and you can, too.  I found an Internet training course that showed me how to use social networking sites such as a Blog, Twitter, and Squidoo to connect with people.  The webinars are recorded so I learned at my own pace, following tutorials posted online.

You may find you enjoy the challenge of stretching your brain, learning something new, and keeping up with new technology.

We can brainstorm with you if you’ve left the J.O.B. market are are thinking about working at home.  Starting a business at home is challenging, no doubt about it.  It’s challenging any time, but can be even more challenging when you’re over 50.  But, it’s also fun to learn new technology.  Prior business experience is an asset it today’s world.  You can use that prior experience to push you ahead in today’s market.
