Career Alternatives and Internet Income For Baby Boomers - Are You Holding Yourself Back?
Today's economy is certainly frightening! Everyday we hear about more lay-offs and down-sizing.
Is there such a thing as a secure job any more? Why take the chance? Have you thought about becoming self-reliant? Well, many, many people are turning to the internet for an alternative income source...
and yes, you can too.
Are you a victim of this "down economy"? Are you a baby boomer in your 40's, 50's or even 60's that has recently been down-sized, let go or given the golden hand shake? If so, are you worried that you won't be able to find another "secure job" because of your age, certainly not because you don't have the experience, but because the job market is loaded with new college graduates who are more than happy to take positions at a much lower salary base then what the more experienced, and older job seekers are accustomed to.
If you are one of these unfortunate victims of this down economy...
and you are turning to the internet for a career alternative and a way to supplement your income online..
BUT something is holding you back...
and I know what that something is...
IT'S YOU! You see, I have been there...
my story is the same as yours! I am a realtor in my mid fifty's and real estate has been my life for the last 18 years.
Obviously, the real estate market has taken a HUGE hit with this tanking economy and the tanking of home values...
it just isn't a pretty picture right now...
or for the next several years.
My income was SEVERELY effected by this poor market and economy and it was NECESSARY for me to find a new stream of income...
so I turned to the internet.
I knew that I could not find a job that would replace the income that I was making...
nor did I want to be tied down to a schedule..
working 9-5 just did not appeal to me, I like the flexibility of being my own boss, working my own hours and working from home.
Now I want to let you know that making this career transition was not easy...
and I will tell you why.
If you are like me, I had very limited internet skills.
Yes, I could send emails and I could navigate searches and such, but that was it! If I had a problem on the internet...
I would always turn to my college student daughter for assistance, you know these kids live on the computer and the know just about everything! This was very convenient...
but probably NOT the solution to my lack of computer knowledge.
My biggest problem about starting and internet business was ME! It was my FEAR of the INTERNET! I am writing this article for those of you Baby Boomers who are thinking about the internet as a career alternative, but you are AFRAID to get started because of YOUR LACK OF COMPUTER SKILLS.
This was me! Well let me tell you...
DON'T HOLD YOURSELF BACK...
like I did! YOU CAN BE A SUCCESSFUL INTERNET MARKETER AND ENTREPRENEUR, just don't let you lack of confidence hold you back.
YOU CAN'T HIT A HOME RUN IF YOU DON'T STEP UP TO THE PLATE!
