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.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for stimulating thought, but...
Comment: 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.

Summary: not for everyone
Comment: while this book had some ideas , for many of the jobs you need a certain skill. most of this information is common sense. while it may be usefull to some i found it to be a waste of money.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lots of good ideas
Comment: After surviving a bout with cancer in the Spring of '06 and a heart attack in the Fall, my church(I'm a minister) decided they could no longer afford to keep me. The problem was that I was 2 years short of being old enough to collect Medicare and no way was I going to be able to live on my paltry SSA. THIS BOOK LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE. It showed me that there is life after the fall, and it helped me to get back on my feet. I don't earn a LOT of money, but I'm doing better than the near-minimum wage I would have gotten flipping hamburgers at a fast food joint or working at Wal-Mart. In my opinion, there's something for just about everyone in this book--providing, of course, you really WANT to work.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Giving hope to perspective retirees
Comment: This book gives hope to those over 50 and in so many cases people tend to forget that the over 50 age group is already looking for opportunities.
It's a book that can be used to plan a career after your done working for someone else.
Very informative and gives lots of ideas
Customer Rating:
Summary: An interesting book
Comment: This a very interesting book and worth a second look. I like the author's style and lots of info here.
I also suggest that you read Untapped Wealth Discovered by Jeff Marquis and Kerry Harrison. This book appeals more to me because it goes much deeper into strategies for the over 50 crowd.
