We seem to be a little late at everything. Many Baby Boomers took a long time to grow up. Many were late to start families. Now US News & World Report reports that many of my generation are discovering the world of entrepreneurship just as they are about to enter their retirement years.…
Some Boomers are looking to entrepreneurship to satisfy their inner self. Some are trying to build additional wealth that they need to live out their twilight years in the manner they’ve grown accustomed to. Others just need the income. Whatever is driving their move into free enterprise, they are doing it in large numbers. Several studies suggest that Boomers are one of the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs. (Interestingly, their children–today’s college aged kids and young adults–are another of the fastest growing groups of entrepreneurs).
