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 earn
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 mean 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 readers 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!
