The Boomer Entrepreneur
Many adults over sixty are starting small businesses that use their experience. The best ideas
are often simple and service based.
Gonsulting is a natural path. LinkedIn is useful for reconnecting with professional networks.
Upwork can help find short term projects. SCORE and local Small Business Development
Centers offer free mentoring and workshops.
Creative paths are growing too. Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing supports self publishing.
Substack supports newsletters. Some boomers build small courses or guides based on what
they know best.
A second act business does not need to be huge. It needs to be enjoyable, sustainable, and
aligned with your lifestyle.
