“You sound like a guy who has the skills to dabble with your own venture of some kind while in your retirement, or semi retirement. “


After my last company went belly up I did a stint as a consultant and again, blowing my own horn (sorry don’t know how to express this without stating the facts), made 3x the salary I had been making but the travel was a killer.

There is a huge plus working for oneself but you have to be driven, disciplined and, in my case, tolerate travel. Nah!

Had my expertise been in a field where travel was not required (90%), I might still have my toe in the water.

Owning your own business is a risk but a risk with a potential for great rewards and I would highly recommend it to someone who has been pushed aside by the current business climate.

I don’t like travel either, but there’s almost no way I will escape it with the newer irons I have in the fire.
