Make no mistake.  We are clearly entering a new era. 

There are millions of baby boomers launching second careers as part of a new form of retirement planning.  And, they don’t want to wait until they are 62 or 65 to get started.

They want to start in the late 40s and early 50s, early enough so that they have enough time to go through the inevitable ups and downs, explore different options and do something significant for a significant period of time.

This demographic trend is just beginning and as this wave continues it will undoubtedly effect virtually every aspect of our lives well into the future.

There are also approximately 82 million Gen-xers and Gen-yers, many of whom are rejecting the traditional circa 1960’s/1970’s get a job - work hard for 40 years  -  save your money - and retire to sun-city corporate culture and are instead exploring an myriad of opportunities that exit for independent entrepreneurs.

This shift has huge implications. 

It is easier to earn a real living working from home than ever and by leveraging the internet, vast networks of resources, and other independent entrepreneurs pursing their passions, it is trivial to make your company seem bigger than it really is.  

With more discretionary spending capacity than at any other time in history and ready access via various technological advancements, consumers are more willing to spend money than do it themselves. 

This has opened the door to the service-orientated industry that has recently skyrocketed.

So, what are the best opportunities going into 2008?

I found this article yesterday while doing some research for another project.  I realize it is a little dated (December 2007) but that does not make it any less helpful now.
