Baby Boomers: Are You Listening?

Our new president elect held a press conference today and just as I said in an earlier post, the economic situation is bleak. We have to give the new president-elect time to address this issue and try to turn the economy around.

How long will it take? Do you know? Does anyone know?

What we do know is that we need to take charge now of our own futures and do something to ensure we have other streams of income to secure a better future for our families.

NOW is as good a time as any to get started. You can start right here on this page and review all the information that is available to see what you can do to start your trek to your future.

I have tried to give you plenty of options to choose. The choice is now yours. Do you want to wait four years down the road to be able to live comfortably in retirement? How about eight years? How about twelve?

Start NOW.

DAY AFTER ELECTION 2008

Well, the elections are over for another term. Do you think the newly elected president will be able to turn this economy around in enough time to help you retire as you planned?

Personally, I don't think anyone can work magic to the point of getting us out of the economic stresses we are faced with in 2008 without enough time.

We have to take control of our own futures. We can not sit back and wait for someone else to do for us what we need to do for ourselves.

The time is NOW and to delay one more day of making plans for your future will not be in your best interest.

If you are thinking that President-Elect Obama can turn this economy around for you and for the millions of other baby boomers entering the retirement arena, think again. You must remember, there are only fifty-six more days in 2008. Beyond that, the newly elected president will not be sworn into office until January 20, 2009.

When he enters the presidency, it will take him some time to get things back on track. After all, this situation with the economy did not happen overnight and we can not expect it to be fixed overnight.

This is just a little "food for thought." Start making preparations NOW for your future before it is too late.

ELECTION DAY 2008

Well, today is election day. Did you take the time to vote? Did you take the time to weigh your decisions carefully? Did you take the time to investigate and research your candidates of choice?

If you answered yes to the questions above, then I say "well done."

Now let's get down to what should really touch you and your pockets. Regardless of who wins the presidency, regardless of who wins the Senate seats, you are still faced with some tough decisions. One of the main decisions you are faced with is what are YOU going to do about YOUR future and the future of YOUR family?

You can sit idly by and think someone else is going to make these choices for you but in reality that is not going to happen. This choice is clearly yours and yours alone.

Step out of your comfort zone long enough to realize that the retirement for baby boomers today and in the near distant future is dismal at best. The time for action is NOW. The time for action is before you are hit with less income.

Are you ready to start TODAY, right NOW to get educated on how you can obtain additional streams of income? If so, peruse this blog to see what you can do now to ensure you have a successful and stress-free retirement.

BABY BOOMERS AND THE ECONOMY

With the economy in such a state of disarray, more and more people are rethinking their decision to retire.

Baby Boomers are being hard hit with this economy. They have several obstacles and a lot of hurdles to overcome.

Baby Boomers, in order to survive this economy, must start preparation NOW for their future and the future of their families.

Baby Boomers have to watch their retirement funds carefully. If their retirement funds are contingent on the stock market, take heed to the condition of the financial market in this economy.

Baby Boomers have to watch their savings accounts. Do they think their savings account will be enough to withstand this economy after retirement?

Baby Boomers, if you have landed on this blog, feel free to search every aspect of this blog to get ideas as to what to do in this failing economy.

ARE YOU KEEPING UP WITH THE NEWS?

Are you keeping up with the news lately?

From all I see, we (baby boomers) are in the news more than I have ever seen baby boomers in the news. The economy has our future in a state of wonderment. Have you thought about it?

NOW is the time to really get serious about what you are going to do for you and your family's future. If you continue to wait too long, it might be too late.

Start thinking TODAY about what you can and will do to make sure you will be able to pay your mortgage and keep food on the table for your family. Things are really heating up.

If you are still working, that's great! Have you thought about what will happen if that day comes that you are suddenly let go? What will you do? What will you do when you don't have any income? Oh sure, you will probably be able to collect unemployment, but how long does that last?

No, you should be thinking NOW for the future. The long term future, not the short term.

There is plenty of information and advice for baby boomers here and other places. Why not look at it NOW? Why not start securing your future TODAY?

STEP 2

Now that you have sorted out your dreams and believe them, it is time to achieve them. Let's begin with deciding what your home based business is going to be.

The decision should not be difficult at all. We all have hobbies and things we are passionate about doing. Decide which of your hobbies you can use for a business. You have one or two or three? Great! Now decide which of the two or three you are MOST passionate about and take a few minutes to think about how you could turn that hobby into a lucrative business.

Now decide who else would be interested in this same hobby. Can you pinpoint a group of people who would enjoy the same hobby as you? Is the hobby you are thinking about sewing, collecting something, reading, writing, playing games? You have a wide open marketplace to choose your market from.

You have now completed step 2 of honing in on the home based business income opportunities. Are you beginning to envision how you can own a home based business filled with your passion? Are you beginning to see the income potential of turning your hobby into a business?

DO YOU LACK PASSION WITH YOUR HOME BASED BUSINESS?

Are you lacking the passion needed to run your home based business? Does your home based business seem to be a noose around your neck? Have you lost the joy in finding and exploring the home based business you decided to own?

Some people have given way to frustration in owning their own home based business. This frustration has come about for a variety of reasons. Let's start with the frustration with successful marketing.

If you have lost your passion for growing and building your home based business, this is one of the reasons why you have become frustrated. Find that passion again. Get back in the saddle and ride out this frustration. If you have the 'stick to it' mentality, you will find that passion again.

You feel that you have done everything you can to get your business in the public eye without any results. Have you really? There is too much marketing information available for you to have exhausted all of your options.

My guess would be that you haven't given yourself enough time to market properly. You haven't found the right marketing strategy for you and your business. Have you determined who you are trying to get your business in front of? This is called your "Target Market."

Go back and review the specifics of your business. Ask yourself some direct questions regarding who you are trying to sell to. What solution are you offering them? What problems might your business solve? The answers to these questions will help you determine who your target market is. Knowing who your target market is one of the keys to your success.

Knowing who your target market is will possibly help you find the passion you are lacking with your home based business. Don't give up on what you had/have a passion for. Perhaps you haven't lost your passion. Perhaps it is just frustration at the moment.

HOME BASED BUSINESS-GOOD MARKETING TACTICS

If your home based business is selling information, millions of people use the internet to search for information daily. This is a very wise choice for a home based business. It requires more manual work on your part if you are selling your own unique information.

There are some information websites that allow you to market/advertise their information. Several of them will give you a "headstart" with your information business in that they give you authority and permission to give away their information in an attempt to build your list of prospects. This is a good marketing tactic for your home based business.

Another good marketing tactic is to pay close attention to the information being presented and make sure you target the right market for whatever information you choose to use to build your home based business. Also pay close attention to the number of websites you choose for marketing/advertising.

Money will undoubtedly be a factor to how much you can advertise your business on the internet. If this is the case, do an internet search for FREE advertising sites. This could be one of your top marketing tactics.

There are also several traffic exchanges that will direct traffic to your home based business website. This is a great way to build a list of prospects for what you are offering.

YOUR SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN HOME BUSINESS DEPENDS ON ONE THING

What would you do if suddenly there was no income being generated? What would you do if you stopped making money right now? What would you do if, while you are reading this, all income stopped? How you answer these questions will determine if you will be successful or fail in a home based business venture.

The time to avoid this from happening is NOW! Start planning NOW for that time. Start a home based business TODAY as a way out of the economic stresses. What you do today will have the greatest impact on where you will be tomorrow.

To make a success of your home based business, it is imperative to determine how to make the most out of your efforts. How will people know of your business? To answer this question, you will need to determine how to market your business. Above all, how to market yourself.

It has been found that the "traditional" way of marketing is dead. It just doesn't work anymore. Calling cold leads, harassing your family and friends, and talking about your business to everyone you meet is the traditional way of network marketing. Don't get 'sucked' in to this way of marketing.

There is a better way. A way that is more modern and puts you and your business in front of millions of people with little effort on your part. This form of marketing is internet marketing.

Yes, internet marketing, the gateway to opening the door to millions of households without you ringing one doorbell or knocking on any doors. The gateway to millions of people beating a path to you and your business. If your home-based business is one that satisfies a need in people, they will look for you. Internet marketing will help you be successful in your home based business.

BABY BOOMERS AND INTERNET MARKETING

Once the decison is made to own a home-based business, the best way to market your business is using the internet. Internet marketing will get baby boomers on the right path to success.

The internet is the highway taking your business all over the world.

Internet marketing puts your business on "automatic delivery," what some call autopilot. If your marketing is done correctly, your business is shown 24 hours a day to billions of people all over the world. You don't have to take the time to greet every person that views your business.

No matter what your business is, it can best be marketed on the internet. If you're selling products, information, coaching or teaching, it can all be done by using the internet.
