 Are
you a Coach working with 50+ clients -- age range not number of? :-)) Are you
feeling overwhelmed about how to go about building your business? Would you like
to work with a Coach who’s been there, done that? Yes, that would be me!
I make it a practice to limit the number of coaches I work with at any given
time to two, and I have an opening coming up in May.
If we’re a good fit, I can help you shorten your learning curve, rev up your
marketing, and build your business!
Check out the May dates for
Complimentary Coaching Consultations, and let me know what works for
you. I look forward to exploring the possibility of working together! |

Eight Key Sites to Inspire Your Encore Career
by Lin Schreiber, Retirement
Coach
Whether you want to (or have to) continue working, or you're set financially and
eager to donate your time, wisdom, experience and resources to a cause that you
find worthy, don't waste this opportunity to create your ideal encore career.
Here are my picks for the top eight websites where you’ll find information and
inspiration (not listed in any particular order):
1. Encore Careers:
http://www.encore.org/
Not interested in endless years of leisure? Want to resurrect your youthful
idealism and put it to work for the greater good? Is having an income still an
important part of your financial picture?
Encore promotes careers that combine personal fulfillment, social impact and
continued income, enabling people to put their passion to good use in real jobs
tackling real problems and that make a real impact.
A 2008 Civic MetLife Foundation/Civic Ventures survey found that more than 5
million people ages 44 to 70 have begun encore careers. Of those not already in
encore careers, half say they want them. Are you one of them?
2. AARP Working Options:
http://www.aarp.org/money/careers/
Are you changing careers, job hunting, or thinking about starting your own
business? You'll find a terrific collection of resources for workers 50+ here.
It's a constantly changing, evolving, potpourri of timely information.
3. Best 50+ Employers:
http://www.aarp.org/money/work/best_employers/
If you're job hunting, you'll definitely want to check out this site which is
updated annually. And, if you're thinking about moving abroad, take a look at
the best international employers list.
4. Vocation Vacations:
http://www.vocationvacations.com
Have an idea of what you'd like to be doing, but don't have a clue if you'd
really like it? What if you could immerse yourself in this job on your next
vacation? What would it be like to test drive your dream job and see if it's
worthy of going the distance?
Now you can at Vocation Vacations. Experience any career from winemaker and TV
broadcaster to B&B owner and shoe designer, usually priced from one to three
days. How cool is that?
5. Bizstarters.com:
http://www.bizstarters.com
Are you an entrepreneur at heart, age 50+? Do you have a great idea for your own
business? Could you use some solid guidance?
I highly recommend The Ultimate Boomer Business Start-Up Guide. Owner Jeff
Williams is a living, breathing example of a successful 50+ entrepreneur. He's
been there and done that and can help you avoid costly mistakes.
Bizstarters loves helping entrepreneurial Boomers successfully launch and run
their own small businesses by combining a disciplined planning process, a shared
community, carefully selected products and services, a committed interactive
dialogue, and a sincere desire to witness successfully launched businesses.
6. OnlineBizU.com:
http://www.onlinebizu.com
Want to own your own business, but want the freedom of being able to go where
you want, when you want? What if you could take what you know and market it on
the internet in a successful virtual business?
Donna Gunter has taken her wealth of internet marketing knowledge, her thirst
for staying on top of the latest internet marketing trends, and her desire to
help Boomers create meaningful, successful, thriving internet businesses, and
created a must-see website for everything you need to know about creating a
thriving online business.
7. Experience Corps:
http://www.experiencecorps.org/index.cfm
This award-winning national program, engages people over 55 in meeting their
communities' greatest challenges. Two thousand (2000) members of Experience
Corps tutor and mentor in 23 cities across the country, providing literacy
coaching, homework help, consistent role models and committed, caring attention.
Independent research shows that Experience Corps boosts student academic
performance, helps schools and youth-serving organizations become more
successful, and enhances the well-being of older adults in the process. It’s a
win-win-win for everyone!
8. Volunteer Match:
http://www.volunteermatch.org
This is a terrific site for finding the perfect volunteer opportunity - both
ongoing and project based – in your community. Not to worry if you live in a
more rural area. I do, too, and I found three web pages filled with great
volunteer openings.
If you know of an inspirational site not listed here, please let me know.
Meanwhile, may your journey discovering your ideal encore career be joyful, and
may you find the perfect fit that ignites your passion, and provides purpose and
pizzazz in your life! WANT TO USE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR EZINE OR WEB SITE?

much easier when you’re looking through the lens of the “glass is half full.”
Grumpy, disgruntled, negative people mope right on past me, because my energy
and enthusiasm drives them totally up the wall. :-))
