Show these young whippersnappers how to do it.

Senior Tip- Start a new business and show these young whippersnappers how to do it.

I have been scouring the net for good advice for seniors. For the most part the advice is like vanilla ice cream, it tastes good the first time, but gets bland quickly. 

Most of the advice on the net is on combating loneliness, slowing down the aging process, traveling with friends, visiting senior  dating sites and selecting retirement housing. Frankly, this advice just annoys me to tears. It relegates being a senior to waiting around to be called upstairs. What about not going gently into that good night? Passion for business or for other things in life is not the exclusive pursuit of the young.

A senior friend of mine is diabetic and has had severe pains in his feet and hands. He explained to me that he found a lotion that helped him. After some research, he discovered the patent on the lotion had expired. I suggested he make it and sell it.  He now has a business that sells his lotion to other people. No, he has not gotten rich yet, but the lotion has helped many people and he gets up in the morning with a passion to launch his lotion into new markets and check his Website for the latest sales.  He has learned a lot about selling products over the Internet at his website. What fun?

What business have you always wished you had the time to start? Guess what?  You now do? Your own business is the last tax shelter left for traveling to Hawaii for research for your new business venture.
