Baby Boomers See Opportunity to Start Business Comes At a Price
baby boomer business owner, especially those involved in second act businesses are enjoying the freedom of owning a business. They are also feeling the stress that comes with the territory:
"Owning a business is like getting married: The level of commitment is extraordinary, the amount of pressure is high - and it's unrelenting," says Ken Siegel, a workplace psychologist in Los Angeles. For older entrepreneurs, "your body is less resilient," he says. "The tolerance for distress is less - and you've got to face it, being in business is stressful." Via SmartMoney

With 70 percent working in retirement, many seeking new business ventures, and viewing this as a "lifestyle change" spells a real challenge for employers with baby boomer employees and an opportunity for business owners that are looking for buyers for their business because they will be looking to Buy a Business, Not Start a Business.
