The coming boom for boomers

I love studying generational trends and shifts. And I have been increasingly interested in the growth of entrepreneurship. Economic struggle can create opportunity and new markets can emerge. The question for most people is how you will manage the change? Thriving? Or Surviving? The thriving requires a shift in thinking, focus and willingness to reinvent yourself.

If you don’t enjoy reading studies like I do let me summarize this report by Dane Strangler on the generational shift in entrepreneurship:

•Growth is not just about the swift and the young and in fact the young have not taken full advantage of creating pursuits as entrepreneurs. Not every 23 year old is out creating Facebook.

•The Baby Boomer generation is about to create the largest growth as single entrepreneurs in 60 years.

•This growth wave is at the beginning.

•This is an amazing time to take stock in what you might pursue if you are a baby boomer and you should take advantage of what technology has to offer you to create and launch something new.

For those of you that do love to read report here is the link to the report

I’m looking forward to what will be created next.
