Book Description
When it was first published, What If Boomers Can't Retire? predicted what would happen when boomers switched from buying stocks to selling them for retirement income. Since then-and as predicted by author Thornton Parker-stocks have become less important, prices have declined, corporations have shifted their emphasis from inflating stocks to just surviving, and there is currently a recession in full swing. This book shows that there is a bright side, however. If enough boomers work in their later years and preserve their capital, and if the country improves the way it uses capital, the results can lead to fuller lives for millions of people, healthier communities, and more sustainable economies worldwide. Parker details specific actions that individuals and organizations can take to gradually make the shift from the dangerously risky pursuit of phantom wealth to productive investments based on real accomplishments, goods, and services.

Book Description
Of all the groups hit hard by the Great Recession, Baby Boomers age 50+ have been hit the hardest. We saw our life savings decimated and our home equity evaporate. Now instead of looking forward to retirement, we wonder how we will merely survive. Many will postpone retirement, but many have also lost their jobs or seen their businesses go under. Our homes are upside down on their mortgages and foreclosures are rampant. At our age, there is not sufficient time to make up these losses. Don't expect sympathy. No one is going to bail us out. Rather, we have to step back, assess what we have left and formulate new retirement plans.Based on in-depth research and soul-searching feedback from Baby Boomers just like you, this book is for the two-thirds of middle-age Boomers whose lives and retirement plans have been turned upside down by the Great Recession. It opens your eyes to new opportunities and expands your options. An enlightened view of "retirement" and alternatives for achieving it are presented. You will discover that you can still enjoy a fulfilling retirement regardless of the financial destruction wrought by the Recession. Free resources and proven strategies being used by other Boomers are presented within these pages. This is your personal guide to not just survival, but salvaging a meaningful and comfortable retirement lifestyle regardless of your financial situation. In short, it shows you "how to make lemonade out of lemons" by: * Helping you to re-evaluate your expectations and define retirement in terms of fulfillment, security and comfortability rather than through a prism of how much money you have left in your nest egg.* Realistically assessing what assets you have - or will have - to support your retirement. Identifying income resources that you might not know exist. Looking at successful means others are employing to generate supplemental income during retirement.* Innovative strategies being used by thousands of Boomers in your situation to overcome their set-backs.* Exploring retirement alternatives, such as the pros and cons of retiring abroad where the dollar goes a lot further.* Simple ways to stretch your dollars without sacrificing the quality of your retirement life.* Examples of how others have overcome obstacles to enjoy rewarding retirements.After consuming these pages, you will have traded despair for hope and determination. You will have a new perspective and awareness of the many free tools and resources are available to assist you in creating an exciting retirement plan. Confidence and a positive outlook towards the future will be your reward.

Book Description
Ivanko and Kivirist - innkeepers, authors, and wearers of many other hats - truly walk the green talk, detailing the nitty-gritty of running a green business. - Library Journal I'm not even sure I'd call this a "business book." ECOpreneuring contains plenty of advice on starting a small, eco-conscious business, but the authors focus primarliy on how entrepreneurial efforts can incorporate values and priorities beyond the bottom line. Lifestyle choices trump profit motives, but neither have to be sacrificed in order to create meaning and income. This kind of positive thinking is repeated again and again throughout the book. In addition to sharing their own success, and the stories of others, ECOpreneuring is filled with practical information about starting and running a small green business. A potential ecopreneur will discover ideas on everything from bookkeeping to marketing, and the authors point to numerous other resources that will help you set up your company, and run your business without running afoul of tax codes, licensing agencies, or litigious competitors. I really enjoyed this thoughtful, well-written book - a business book that's inspiring and practical is hard to come by. ECOpreneuring lays out a blueprint for making health, happiness and abundance an integral part of the work we do.

A nation of nine-to-fivers is giving way to a spirited bunch of innovators, searching for ways to make a life instead of simply making a living. This accessible and inspiring guide includes profiles of successful ecopreneurs and provides an in-depth exploration of: Eco-business basics Purposeful management Marketing in the green economy Running a lifestyle business Ecopreneuring shows how we can earn our daily bread on a local or regional level while saving money, strengthening the economy, and helping restore the planet to ecological health and social stability.
