Retirement Jobs – Writing My Life Story

Let's face it, we have an aging population now – and many of those in the plus 55 demographic would like to document their lives but have no idea how to start.

Nearly everyone would love a way to tell their stories, whether it be to publish them as an exciting novel, to give to their children or grandchildren, or as a memorial for others – so, make this easier for them by offering a story kit that helps them compile their life story.

Your Writing My Life Story Kit could include; templates, ideas, examples, basic writing education, and more to help them document their stories. One of the hardest components of writing is keeping on subject and organizing thoughts. Providing templates to guide them in their thought processes will help them keep on track.

The best way to develop this kind of product is to first, write your own life story.

Start with this simple checklist – just short notes for research and further development:

• Your birth
• First childhood memories
• First school
• List family moves and any different schools
• Accidents, injuries or illnesses
• Birthday memories
• Other births in the Family
• Graduation
• Jobs
• Marriage
• Other Jobs
• Awards
• Births of Children and Grandchildren
• Military Service
• Memorable anniversaries
• Special birthdays and holidays
• Retirement

Again, keep these notations short and leave space for additions as each one produces further memories.

Another starting point is to take a notebook and on the top of each page, headline a year – starting of course with your birth year – then list events for each year, adding additional information as developed by your research and family interviews.

When it comes time for you to produce your “Life Story” kit – being able to say it was created through personal experience will be a huge promotional benefit as there is a lot of competition in this field so you need to strive to make your product different and better than the others.
