Opinion: 10 tips for retirees who want to start their own business - Marketwatch
Ready to leave your job but don’t want to retire?
More than half of workers say traveling and spending more time with family and friends are what they’d relish when they step away from the workplace, and almost half cite devoting time to their hobbies. A notable 30% of workers, however, hope to still have some form of work in retirement. Finally, 13% fancy launching a business.
Those are some of the findings of the recent 19th Annual Transamerica Retirement Survey: A Compendium of Findings About U.S. Workers.
I asked Beverly Jones, author of “Think Like an Entrepreneur, Act Like a CEO” and host of NPR-affiliated Jazzed About Work podcast, for her tips for those budding entrepreneurs yearning to be their own boss. Jones has a great perspective on this topic since she has lived it herself.
