I Am A Baby Boomer Without Much Money, What Should I Do?
Both Robert and Donald’s advice in this chapter mostly encourages Baby Boomers to get involve and become familiar with the Information Age and how most Boomers are still entirely devoted with the Industrial Age mentality. Robert first talks about Health, Wealth and Happiness and how a person can live longer if you have a good balance of the three as too many times people sacrifice one for the other. He also encourages people to get professional coaching if you need someone to make you accountable for not doing certain things in order to help you move forward.
Donald Trump then throws in some motivational stories of an example how an old couple in their 60’s lost their business and loved being at a ski resort which they hoped to retire in. One day, they were offered a job at an inn there and actually became managers for it. Down the road, they actually bought out the company and now not only were in a good position financially, but they were able to live in the area that they always wanted. This is to show that regardless of one’s age you can still accomplish great things.
I guess I would have to classify myself as one of those Information Age group people and while I am not a Baby Boomer, I guess the great thing about the Information Age is that it has changed the way on how we can communicate with each other and has made establishing some form of business a lot more open to a larger group of people. You just have to get up and start doing something with it.
