A Phased Retirement - January 1, 2006 - The first of millions North American baby boomers qualified for retirement - surveys indicate that the majority, because of the money, love of working, camaraderie, or fear of not working want a "phased retirement" through some sort of retirement job, preferably a home based business -January 2006
The Doom-Boom in Today's Media - One of the most important chapters, indeed the leading chapter for my host website, Positive, Productive and Profitable Retirement Jobs deals with the power of positive thinking.
I wrote this article a number of months ago for a subscription service, but after watching several newscasts last night and reading two newspapers this morning and after a neighbor commented on how the weather is acting up all over the world and the future looks dicey at best - I feel the time is right for another look.
The reasoning is based on my own personal experience of discovering the benefits of the power of positive thinking as explained in the positive thinking chapter of my website.
Studies show that people who are optimistic and have active minds are the ones who age best - so don't allow the media's blanket of gloom to snuff out your enthusiasm for living.
If you're thinking of building a website for extra income - don't become shark bait. - Retirement news - Want to earn extra retirement income before and during retirement via the internet? OK, but beware of the sharks lurking in the waters of the web. Promises of sure-fire get-rich-quick programs dangle promises of almost instant cash to the gullible and desperate. If you plan to build a creative retirement job by building your own website - take heed.
This article was written by one whose in-mail box was flooded with such earn-money-while-you-sleep promises, and who, by blind luck, found a secure home for his creative retirement project. It is also a place for those, like the author, are starting with little or no knowledge about website design, search engines and all the other techie stuff. You work on selling what you know, build or sell -you'll be guided every step of the way and all the technical work will be done for you - and you will not be offered up as shark bait.
Positive Thinking and Visualization - a powerful combination - It happened to me just as I reached retirement. Have you been hit by the negativity virus? You can take full control of your life - it's not easy, but with time, dedication and a plan you can energize your life and reach your goals through the power of positive thinking couple with the art of visualization.
