The current economic crisis has placed baby boomers in a real dilemma.
There have been many who have lost jobs. Still others are feeling job insecurity. They want to see a drastic improvement in the economy so that their company will improve its financial stability. Many have concluded that they just don’t like their jobs and want out of corporate America.
They don’t like someone (their boss) telling them what to do everyday. They don’t like their commute to work. They don’t like having only a few days of vacation each year.
Here’s another thing that aggravated me during my career in corporate America. I feel that I missed a lot of my children’s school activities while they were growing up. So when there was an important school play or musical or fair, I asked my boss for a couple of hours off so I could attend. Most of the time, he gave me a “this is the end of the world” response. I didn’t care for that. Have you experienced this before?
So many baby boomers have been hit hard in the current economic crisis. Retirement savings have been greatly reduced. The stock market crash and the decline in housing prices have taken a toll.
Yes, many baby boomers have been negatively impacted by the current economic crisis. Some were counting on equity in their homes for use in retirement. Others have had their investment portfolio affected by the stock market crash last year.
Quite often I hear that the baby boomer generation has been seriously hurt by the current economic crisis. But for those who have gone through this, I feel you will rebound quickly.
I am actually slightly older than the baby boomer generation. So I feel I am a legitimate source on expressing my opinion on how well they will recover.
They are aggressive and creative. Many have had successful careers. Here’s something else that makes them stand out above the rest. They are accustomed to giving – giving to help others.
Some people in the baby boomer generation, both employed and unemployed, will find other jobs that are more satisfying. Others are willing to take an even bigger risk and completely change their vocation.
Many will move into new jobs that they will find more satisfying. Others will be willing to take a big leap in faith and completely change their line of work.
I feel that many will start a work from home internet marketing business. What are the advantages for making this major change in their lives? There are many.
They have the advantage of life experience. You may have heard Erica Combs speak. She is the wife of Jeffrey Combs, a famous entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and coach. I heard a presentation she gave several months ago.
Erica said something that has really stuck with me. I think it’s a powerful statement.
I don’t remember her exact words so will only paraphrase her comments. She said that all of us have lived through some negative experiences in our lives. Too many of us let those experiences bog us down. They prevent us from living positive, giving lives.
Then Erica added a statement that I thought was very important for each of us.
She said that the past (both positive and negative) has brought us to where we are today. We need to use these past experiences to write a beautiful story as we live the rest of our lives.
I may not be accurately conveying what she said. I hope I have made it fairly clear. She is saying to not let the negative experiences in our past (loss of a job, bad decisions, etc.) hold us back. Having lived through those experiences, we have grown as a person. As a result, we have so much to offer. Having gone through these life experiences, we can live a powerful life by helping people from this day forward.
This is why I feel that baby boomers, hurt by the current economic crisis, will succeed. Your past has given you the wisdom to help others have success.
By going into your own home internet marketing business, you can help people. You will be no longer working for a boss. Your income level is unlimited.
Here’s something that was important for me. I discovered my life purpose. Through my business, I was able to live my purpose. This may resonate with you.
A home internet marketing business will not be easy. You will need to learn. It’s critical to get excellent training. It takes hard work. You must persevere and be determined to achieve success. But then, these are all qualities of the baby boomer generation.
