Pursuing Business Opportunities as a Baby Boomer, with Boomerpreneur Jean Newell
(PRWEB) November 15, 2011
Throughout 2011, the oldest of the “Baby Boomers” turned 65, reaching what has generally been considered retirement age. However, in today’s economy — where data shows that Boomers have seen no wage gains since 1989 — many workers are choosing to delay retirement, and retirees themselves are looking for new, inventive ways to re-enter the workforce. Younger Boomers facing job loss or layoffs are also desperately searching for fresh opportunities in the sluggish job market.
So how can older Boomers pursue their passions once retired? And how can younger Boomers find new employment opportunities… even if it means starting over?
“Boomerpreneur” Jean Newell (jeannewell.com) knows all about starting over. When her thirty-five year real estate career came to an end, she knew she was too young to retire, and she questioned if she was too old to try something brand new. Luckily, as a real estate agent, she realized of a common problem among today’s professionals — where to keep the increasing numbers of gadgets (Blackberry, cell phone, etc.) one needs for work. So she developed the PUP (personal utility pouch) and watched her product become wildly popular on QVC. She then went on to author “How to Turn Your Pink Slip into a Red Hot Business”
Ask Jean:
– If it was difficult to adjust after ending her real estate career
– How she came to develop the PUP line
– What advice she has for struggling Boomers
– How to market a new idea in today’s economy
Jean Newell has most recently appeared on The Today Show, CNBC’s “The Big Idea”, The Bonnie Hunt Show, The Montel Williams Show, QVC, NBC 10 Philadelphia, Fox 35 Orlando, “Better Living with Adrienne” on NBC 40 South Jersey, and on several other programs.
