To be a highly productive baby boomer isn’t something expected by the younger generations.

You were born, educated, have a career, earn money, and retire, but not many people expect you to be a highly productive baby boomer as you get older.

Carol Louise Mayer is an author, artist, and baby boomer—or, as she labels herself, a rambling baby boomer. She officially retired in 2001 but then started something that had been a desire of hers since then.

One of her more notable statements is the following:

“How can the younger generation possibly navigate their life without the knowledge, insight, and wisdom from those who have made the journey before them?”

occasionally read her blog, “Live Love Laugh with Carol. It got my attention because of her particular style and approach to monetizing her passion via her blog, linking to various websites, etc.

A Rambling And Productive Baby Boomer

A rambling and productive baby boomerHer passion for art has become a business approach to people with a particular profile. As a rambling but productive baby boomer, I would say that her somewhat sharp writing style differs from most of her blog posts. Even if she belongs to the upper-aged baby boomers, her writing also attracts younger audiences. Or, as she says in the presentation of her book:

“What they need (the younger generation) is some elder perspective.”

In “The Ramblings Of An Aging Baby Boomer,” you’ll get this point of view.

There are approximately 76 million baby boomers in the United States today, which roughly corresponds to 20% of the U.S. population. The general living trends and raised level of health in the last decades will keep an increased percentage of the baby boomers proactive, not only by traveling around the world, playing golf, and doing other outdoor activities but also by being involved in different kinds of businesses.

Some will create their own businesses for fun and continue on their terms—a habit they have been accustomed to their whole lives. Others will search for business opportunities to compensate for the income gap that occurs when they retire from the labor world.

The third group will combine both, and being active is essential. Some extra income will not hurt.

A New Senior Lifestyle

Lifestyle as a productive baby boomerAs a productive baby boomer, it is crucial to be aware of what the new life as retired will imply.

Some decades ago, the life pattern was different, and as a 50+ individual, you entered into a more passive lifestyle. Today, it’s the opposite. In my article “How Do You Start Your Life Over at 50+, published on June 17, 2016, I lay out the new path for boomers, and you’ll find the frame for being a more productive baby boomer.

The digital world has changed the conditions dramatically for all boomers already retired or to be retired shortly. The freedom is there. A laptop and the Internet and you are connected. At this point in life, you are not interested in investing heavily in a new business. Online businesses allow you to start your own business at a ridiculously low cost.

Even if today’s productive baby boomers know much more than managing their Facebook accounts, the most common fear is the technical part. Serious companies will take care of that part by offering a completely automated platform complemented with a complete training package.

After a long and productive life, it’s time to become a productive baby boomer on your terms.
