I have spent a lot of time trying this product and that system only to wind up broke and disillusioned. “Make money while you sleep!” “Start your cash machine today.” Promises, promises. And I bought into every one of them.
Can you make money on the internet or through a home based business? You betcha! Is it easy? Depends on what you call easy. Will you have to work some long hours and (uh-oh) invest a little cash? You will if you really want to build some wealth. Will what worked for me work for you too? Maybe – maybe not. There is no one-size-fits-all method to earn financial freedom.
I have learned some things in my struggle to earn a living from the comfort of my home. Things like the following:
Which programs really do work and which are just scams
Ways to save the money you do ea
People you can connect with who really will give you advice
How to stay healthy while you are building your online “empire”
Resources to help you get there faster
I will happily share my adventures and misadventures with anyone who wants to avoid the mistakes I made. Not everything I share will be of use to you. Take what you need – leave the rest. All I want is to share my experiences with you. I would not have made it without the help of others. Now I want to do the same for you.
I hear someone out there asking “Who is this person? I have never seen her marketing anything.” Probably not. And just because you never heard of me until now does not mea
I don’t know what I’m talking about. There are thousands of people making wonderful lives for themselves at home and online and I’ll bet you never heard of most of them. They don’t spend a lot of time promoting themselves. They just go about their business every day – whatever it is. I will introduce you to some of them because they have helped me and they will help you too.
When I was first approached about writing a column for Boomer Entrepreneurs, I immediately said yes. Then I started thinking – what would such a column contain? How many boomer entrepreneurs are there? And how can we help others? And then, we got the idea!
If you have ever wanted to start your own business but didn’t know how, here is your chance. I am going to take any and all interested Boomer-Living.com
eaders through my basic Business Building coaching program – free! It’s my way of saying thank you to Doug and company for giving me this opportunity. And it’s a way to help other boomers who are struggling to get started. And yes, I’ll admit, it – it’s publicity for me. I’m hoping you will like what you learn enough to become a member of the BoomerBizCoach community.
We’re off to discover Boomer Entrepreneurs! Come along for the ride!

THE ART OF LIVING IN COMFORT
When we think of art, we think of pictures, or images of life. We can use this as a metaphor for creating a style of how we want to live as we age. For me style is not about a type of furniture, it’s design, or a colour in the material. It is simply a way of life that has practical purpose, through comfort and safety. This type of art describes the fundamental source of how we perceive comfort and how it is woven into our daily activity, through the products we choose to use that meet our needs for comfort and safety.

A New Approach to Active Living
“Active Living” is about how we choose to ‘live’ our lives every day. It includes all the movements that we create to accomplish tasks that we do for ourselves & others in our family, our work, our sports & recreation, plus are all other aspects of our daily lives. It embraces everything that we “perform” to make “living” the content of our daily life. We live in a constantly changing world, where movement and adaptation are all part of the daily living process. We are constantly challenged by the way we move around and how receptive we are to our environment.

Protect Your Joints - Preserve Your Energy - Promote Your Safety
What do these three words mean for our human body? When we PROTECT our body, it means that we are protecting it against injury; like protecting our head with a helmet when we cycle. We protect our back from injury, by bending our knees instead of our backs when lifting a heavy box. We protect our ankles by wearing hiking boots, when we go hiking; so that we do not stumble over uneven surfaces and strain our ankles. We wear waterproof clothing when it rains, so that we are protected from getting wet; the wetness can cause a chill, with a potential chill that can threaten our health.

HOLDING DAILY LIFE IN COMFORT using a “RELAXED HOLD” Gail McGonigal B.Sc.O.T., M.Sc.Health Is living life comfortable for you? Or does performing routine daily tasks result in pain or discomfort in your hands? It happened to me several years ago, when I began feeling pain in the base of my thumb joints when performing normal everyday tasks. I have always been a very fit and active person, riding my bicycle everywhere and just getting on with my daily life.
