/24-7PressRelease.com/ - February 16, 2005 - Wouldn't you love to stay in your bathrobe all day, spend time with your grandchildren, and contribute to your retirement income so you can have a strong sense of satisfaction and fulfillment? You can! New research shows 5.6 million workers age 50 and older are now self-employed, a 23% jump from 1990. The numbers are expected to rise further as baby boomers seek more job security, Americans get older and cheaper technology drives down start-up costs. These newly retired home business owners have waved goodbye to the corporate rat race and settled into a better quality of life. This trend challenges conventional wisdom that entrepreneurs are mostly young.
Although home-based entrepreneurs don't work in their bathrobes every day, just knowing you can is one of the many freedoms starting a business from home offers after you retire. Home business owner and Retirement Revolutionary Lin Schreiber is one of many Americans enjoying this freedom and celebrating the third annual "Doing Business in Your Bathrobe Month" in February. "Doing Business in Your Bathrobe Month" is a month to support entrepreneurs everywhere who are taking their work and paychecks into their own hands. Home-based business is a $427 billion per year industry that creates 8,500 new jobs daily.
Schreiber, founder of RevolutionizeRetirement.com, admits to being caught several times working in her pajamas. "A company named WebMomz.com started this holiday as a way to empower women who have chosen a lifestyle that offers the satisfaction of workday flexibility, being their own boss, the ultimate office space, no commute, increased control, time with family, and the sheer joy of designing their unique blend of business and life," states Schreiber. "Working from home is a very popular option not just among moms but also with retired individuals because of the freedom it gives you. You get to schedule your work around your life and your retirement plans. You choose your own career path, work hours, and rates. You don't have to compete with anyone but yourself. You have the flexibility to create a retirement you love."
So if you work from home, wear your bathrobe throughout February to celebrate the flexibility and freedom of your job. And don't feel embarrassed or like you're being lazy; rather, flaunt the fact that you're doing something others only dream about - you're leading a satisfying and fulfilling career and home life.
