Why a Retirement Business May Be For You

People come back to work after retirement, whether as an employee, a self-employed, or going into business or even as volunteer workers are usually due to one or more of the following reasons:

• Financial reason.
• Bored/nothing worthwhile to do.
• Need contacts/peer groups/sense of belonging to a community.
• Love of what they are doing/find their life purpose/true calling.

While working at a retirement job may satisfy the above reasons, working at your retirement business may easily accomplish these purposes too and with a bonus to boot! – The possibility of achieving your more meaningful retirement lifestyles. Of course there’s a risk involved too as you may not be always successful. But then again if you do your homework right and evaluate your options carefully you’ll be able to tilt the odds in your favor somewhat.

Working at your retirement business may means accomplishing the following:

• Freedom – a retirement business gives you freedom. You set your own terms: all the “what”, “when” and “where” you want to work and even the payout you want to have. When you’re successful, you’re also on your way to financial freedom. You have the potential to earn more as a business owner than an employee - the potential to design your own lifestyles.

• Control – Working at a retirement business gives you more control of your endeavor, which you do not have the luxury of when you’re working for somebody else at your retirement job.

• Feeling of achievement/satisfaction. Though you may get both whether you’re working at a retirement job or at your own retirement business, financial wise however, you have a better chance of achieving it by working at your own business rather than at your retirement job.

If you have been thinking about starting a retirement business of your own, now is the time to take action. You have the choice of starting either an online/Internet or an off line business. While there are merits and demerits of both business models, I prefer an online model to an off line one.

Considering A Retirement Job During Your Retirement?

Retirement is perceived as a time to take things easy as well as for you to enjoy your newfound freedom from work commitments. This is the time for you to indulge in your favorite activities and passion that you didn't always have the time for while you were working. As such, retirement jobs may be considered a misnomer but a survey conducted by Merrill Lynch found that 76 percent of baby boomers plan to do some kind of work during retirement. Many are planning active retirements that include a variety of jobs. An interesting question here is what drives people to seek for work after retirement? I'm listing a number of reasons why retirees go back to work here. And I'm sure you can also add other reasons to the list.

Many people become bored, restless or plain frustrated with little or nothing to do while in retirement. For these people, having a fulfilling retirement is about selecting new activities that continue to physically and emotionally fulfill them. For most, this may mean going back to work at retirement jobs after retirement - albeit at a reduced level of involvement.

Work gives a sense of purpose that everybody needs. That includes a place to go, peer contacts, responsibilities to discharge and a sense of camaraderie. Once retired, those needs don't simply go away - they just have to be filled in some other ways. One way to address this problem is to find your retirement job and start work - AGAIN!

Not having enough money during retirement might force many soon to be retirees to continue working well past their retirement age. And one of the main reasons people want retirement jobs is the chance to earn supplemental income and to add additional funds into their retirement savings accounts. By phasing their retirement for a few years, their retirement nest eggs will benefit from the injection of those extra years of savings into it.

Still, others will continue to work at some kind of retirement jobs simply for the love of it. These people find their true calling and sense of purpose while working at their new retirement jobs. They may not go for the money however, rather for the satisfaction that the job provides. These people might make use of the skills; experiences and expertise accumulated over the years while working at their previous jobs and use them to help others as consultants, motivators, mentors and coaches etc.

So what about you - do you need a retirement job yourself? If you're looking for one, finding your perfect retirement job is not going to be a problem. You can just go to http://www.retirementjobs.com and look for one.
