Over 50 Baby Boomers and the Economy

15th March, 2011 - Posted by gaylecarson - No Comments

According to American Express OPEN Economic Pulse, the baby boomer generation is not overly optimistic as to where the economy is going. Men are more postive than women however, and think the next 12 to 18 months will see some improvement.

Women are also more stressed out by the state of the economy than men. So how are they dealing with it? They are networking more and looking for referrals, joint ventures, new revenue streams and are using their personalities, contacts and ingenuity to keep their businesses running.

Since women have always been able to juggle many hats, this is just one more thing that they will do well. I love the fact that so many women are now in their own businesses. When I started (so many moons ago), I was really a lone ranger. However, it never stopped me and I always did quite well.

So for all of you S.O.B’s out there, don’t get discouraged and give it your all, because you deserve it.
