Looking for a "Handy" Franchise Opportunity?

Strategic Tips From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach For Managing The MultiGenerational Work Force
One of the most impactful current dynamics in today’s workplace is the presence of four generations of workers at the same time, which has increased the level of challenges to manage, retain and recruit a skilled work force. These four generations of American workers are: The Veterans - born prior to World War II; The Baby Boomers - born between 1946 and 1964; The Generation Xers – born between 1965 and 1980; and The Generation Ys or Boomerangs – children of Baby Boomers, born after 1980. Each group has its own distinct characteristics, values, and work ethics, based on its generation’s life experiences. This is a huge challenge to business today to successfully integrate these diverse generations to effectively work together. Here are some strategic tips for managing a multigenerational work force.

Make Working at Home Work Well
Most retired baby boomers have tried their hands at a variety of home-based careers and businesses, from writing to consulting to even crafting, either full time or part time. Yes, more and more baby boomers are now choosing to work from home, either starting their own businesses or blending their post-retirement leisure time with their already established careers. This can be a daunting aspect that requires loads of direction, motivation and of course tweaking! So, if you’re contemplating jumping off the corporate ladder to start your own business, or if you have just retired and need that extra income, then here are a few tips to help make you work better from home:
Be Your Own Boss - Career Planning for Baby Boomers
Many of the baby boomers, whether from a desire to be active longer, or necessity, are planning to work beyond the usual retirement age of 65. After 20 years or more in big companies, in corporate jobs, and careers, many veteran retirees are pondering, or taking early retirement from their companies and old jobs, and branching out. A large, and growing, number of baby boomers are happily abandoning traditional post retirement employment in favor of being self-employed.

Innovative Home-Based Business - Teaching Babies Sign Language
You’re on the phone with the babysitter, frantic not knowing why your baby is crying. She’s tried everything that she should have but nothing seems to calm your baby. You start to panic thinking maybe he’s sick, but she insists that she checked and your baby just seems to be unhappy. Your heart drops to the ground as you wonder what could be bothering your precious angel. Your secretary comes in and announces an emergency meeting, so without finishing your conquest to cure the baby blues you're forced to hang up with the sitter. With a guilt stricken conscience and a heavy heart, you try to pay attention to the meeting. But you can’t help thinking how much better life would be as a stay-at-home mom.
Returning to Work After Maternity Leave
Having a baby is a life changing event. Just as you are getting used to the demands of caring for your baby, you may have to consider returning to work.
The Two Key Components to Living with Tenacity
Tenacity is a key component to success. We must have it to reach our goals. It’s the fuel that keeps us moving through the inevitable challenges. But how often do we take the time to stop and think about what tenacity really is? Let’s spend a minute to figure out what tenacity looks like and how we can create it to use to our advantage. When I’m working with clients I often use the analogy of getting your screaming baby strapped into a car seat to illustrate tenacity. Because, if you have kids, you have experienced tenacity! When you are putting your child in their car seat your purpose is to make your baby safe. Your baby hates to feel confined and wants nothing to do with it. You can not reason with a baby or explain your logic so you must just make it happen.

3 critical elements of a research survey. Part 2 – Does the sample size really matter?
There are two hospitals: in the first, 120 babies are born every day, in the other, only 12. On average, the ratio of baby boys to baby girls born every day in each hospital is 50/50. However, one day, in one of those hospitals twice as many baby girls were born as baby boys. In which hospital was it more likely to happen?

Is the Baby Ugly?
Well of course all babies are beautiful and there are very few things more precious than a new life in this world. Yet the analogy of a baby to our work is very interesting to consider. It is difficult, if not impossible, to not see extreme beauty in what we helped create. When we work hard on a project or invest a significant amount of time on anything, we become blinded by the emotional investment we have already made. We lose our objectivity and in some cases "fall in love" with the ugly baby we have created.

Hoping For A Meaningful Change
Babies are helpless little critters who need their forebears to take care of every aspect of their lives. Mom and Dad need to feed the baby, clothe the baby, bathe the baby, shelter the baby, teach the baby, and save money so they can educate the baby and help the baby get a good start in life. And regularly, when the baby (who can't do ANY of this for himself) gets stinky, he needs Mom and Dad to change his smelly pants....
Women Baby Boomer Entrepreneurs
More women than ever are starting a business with baby boomers being the largest group of new entrepreneurs. As a baby boomer myself and having spent 30 years in the health care industry one of the questions I get asked is why start a business now? Women baby boomer entrepreneurs start their own business for many of the same reasons other women start their own business. Baby boomer women start a business to supplement their retirement, be their own boss, leave a legacy, share their knowledge, take control of their future and many more reasons.
