subject: Earn Money In Retirement - What Is The Best Way Forward? [print this page] Earn Money In Retirement - What Is The Best Way Forward?
Having decided that retiring from your current job does not mean you must not earn money in retirement, what are you going to do now? While this could be considered either a chore or an opportunity, some good choices now could set you on the road to many happy and productive 'golden years'.
For those who like what they do for a living and perhaps would not have chosen to retire, the best thing is probably to simply find a way to continue. Working for yourself, instead of someone else, might just provide the motivation you need to start a whole new mini career.
It may be that you need to develop some new ideas to find customers, or simply make sure that enough people know that your services are available. It all depends on your individual talents and skills, but those used to dealing with people on a regular basis could find more opportunities than had been obvious during the constraints of being employed.
I would now like to address those who need or want to make a significant change in what they do to earn money. Many of us have undeveloped talents, which have remained hidden or unused for many reasons. I believe that the transition at retirement gives us a great opportunity to investigate and capitalise on this potential.
What about those of us who have strengths and talents we do not even recognise ourselves?
Some years ago, during a personal development course, I learned about a resource which opened my eyes to this particular situation. The well respected Gallup organisation has published a book and companion website. This has proved invaluable to me and has given me some tremendous help and ideas, so I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with an interest in learning more about their own talents and abilities. The title of the book is 'Strengths Finder 2.0' written by Tom Rath. Used in conjunction with the strengthsfinder website, ( www.strengthsfinder.com ), it is possible to uncover skills and abilities you might never have known you possessed.
Once we have decided on whatever it is we are going to develop to help us to earn money, we might well need to learn new ways to market our services. This is where the modern world of instant communication, internet etc. can offer such fantastic advantages. Never throughout history has it been possible to contact so many potential customers in so short a time.
To make use of these possibilities, many of us need to learn to master some particular new skills, most of which younger people simply take for granted. Mastering the methods of communicating and marketing over the internet will turn so many genuine opportunities into possibilities for development as sources of income.
Whilst this looks extremely daunting at first, finding your way through the maze can be both challenging and exciting. I am still very much on the learning curve, but I offer two recommendations for ideas which have really helped me to progress.
My first link below is for a course from a respected internet marketing guru. All the information is instantly downloadable and presented in a logical step by step format. My alternative method offers the opportunity to try out a free e course and then receive information on an ongoing basis.
Both of these recommendations will give a good solid start in the internet marketing field and should help decide whether this is a good route for you to follow. Only the introductory information to each approach is free, but the cost of the information provided in each course is very modest indeed. If the internet should be part of your future for marketing purposes, you could do a lot worse than learning what you can from the opportunities presented below. Who knows? You could now be well on your way to great ways to earn money in retirement.
For a step by step way to get started quickly earning money in retirement Try to work your way through the hype - the content is worth it.
For a steady start, try the free E course and weekly lessons to start to earn money in retirement I myself use both methods.
