MEME OLD MAN

“The internet is where some people go to show their true intelligence; others, their hidden stupidity.” ―Criss Jami, existentialist I admit that I doomscroll. Too much? Hard to say. Yes, I’m a little lax in my house cleaning and I don’t exercise enough, but can that be blamed on doomscrolling, or is my excess of screen time and consequent deficit of non-screen activities a symptom of chronic…

🌈Based on your talents, what business should you launch?💰🪙

Hello! I hope everyone is doing great. I'm going through a phase where I started wondering if I wanted to go back to work for an employer, or even if it was worthy after I've acknowledged all my potential and the fact no one would ever pay for the real price of my work. Aquarium era is hitting me harder, and I bet you too are feeling this call to reach financial freedom. We deserve it.

I want to contribute with your awakening.

Please take a deep breath, focus on what's in front of you and pick the picture you feel more attracted to.

Pile I → Pile II

Pile III → Pile IV

🌱Pile I🌱

OMG, pile 1, you are so kind and empathetic that people want to open up to you and ask for your opinion/advice on topics such as recent breakups, petty fights with mom, best friend betrayal drama and so. Even though that's not the main purpose for them going into your store/business. If you weren't an entrepreneur, you could've been an excellent therapist since your serene demeanor and polite speech would make others believe they are speaking to a good friend. You show you care for what you are being told by providing meaningful replies, and I could swear people go crazy over your attentive gaze. Some of you are natural, others are really good actors (no one is to be judged here). Your patience and warm personality real or not sells, people could purchase anything from your business if you are the one assisting, which can be a boomer if you are aiming for leaving someone else in charge and doing the counts behind the scenes, knowing you are one of the best sellers.

You could own a coffee store given how good you are at building spaces where people will gather and feel safe. Not only that, you can create beautiful settings that will make others immerse in a new world like the tea room from a dollhouse or within a Monet painting. You will succeed at making them distance themselves from real world's problems, thus they could be more open to speak about something that feels so far away. To be honest, I don't think everyone that chose this pile would identify with this business idea. For some serving, cooking and simping chai latte over the daily gossips feels like a waste of their potential. You guys are right, another part of group which's artsy in nature is more aligned with fashion, beauty, and textiles. But I swear you all have the potential to manifest large amounts of money in one sale. I didn't have to crack my head open thinking about what type of business could allow that as designing is your strong suit. You are a master when it comes to making colors, fabrics. and whatnot march. A small part of this group loves sweets and how food can make others happy, therefore you could settle down for having a bakery and specializing on wedding cakes. However, some of you are contemplating the idea of running a drift or wedding dress store. For the ones willing to work with the brides, I assure your business will do well. You have the patience of a Greek hero going against the gods' will, so I see you nailing sales that took plenty of your time and energy.

🌱Pile 2🌱

I didn't know "giving a fuck" was a talent until I drew your cards, dear pile 2. You are strong people, you don't care if others start hating you for doing your job. Like 5% of the people who picked this pile dreamed with being a hitman and go ahead guys, you'll do great. Now, a large percent of you have questionable morals, allowing you to work in fields where you can turn corrupted and earn wealth as a politician, lawyer, or even a doctor. I know those are career choices, but the real business for you is owning agencies, institutes, clinics, and funeral homes. I am not even making the latter up. Some of you won't care about the taboo-ish nature of your work. You approach business with level-headedness and practicality, thus if it pays wells as any other job related to humans needs... dealing with the deads is easier than their family but you will still do the job or you will hire someone to do it eventually. Curiously, you are great at making people feel better. You aren't that talkative, but you know how to make others laugh with your silly jokes, pulling weird faces, providing them with food or water and much needed space.

Some of you are radicals and into activism. You have plenty of pent-up anger and aggressiveness inside of you that you will directed at facing opposing forces. You might start a charitable cause and talk people into volunteering. Yeah, I know it won't give you money or not so much, but hear me out! You could own an institute for people with special needs or another for learning languages. There's a high chance you might end up working with foreigners, what gave you that business idea when you thought on how to help them improve their lifestyle. Some of you could be interested in farming or owning a supermarket. You would feel inclined to hire immigrants regardless of the consequences. Actually, what are consequences to you? You don't fucking care. You see people suffering, you help them. There's no other logic in your brain.

🌱Pile 3🌱

Ok, guys, I love how unbothered you are when it comes to your line of work and what people have to say about it. Unlike pile 2, you are not interested in top positions that might lead to corruption, dirty money and living a very intense life. You are the complete opposite, you are humble and like to contribute to the community. You have a great intuition and observation skills, so upon checking your town or the place you want to install your business in, you will know what spot in the market needs to be filled right away. You can also tell what the community's needs are; you are not afraid of getting your hands dirty, so you could feel inclined to run a fish or convenience store. I feel like you want to belong, so not only your business won't cover a necessity, but also will turn into something traditional, even "iconic" for your neighbourhood. Is a music store still a thing? I feel like a small part of this group longs to have one.

You have all what it takes to manifest a long-lasting business. You are highly talented at nurturing and you might see your business like a "baby". It's not just your money source, but something to care about and fight for. Some of you might be interested in running an esoteric shop, where people is going to get their cards read or purchase herbs, incienses, candles, and so on. Mostly, this pile wants to have an unique business or for it to be the sole provider of something. E.g, you might own the only bookstore with coffee services at town. Also, I believe some of you will settle for moving out to a town or the countryside and start a business over there.

🌱Pile 4🌱

Hello, guys! This pile is slightly different from the rest since I feel like going straight to the point and sparing unnecessary details, but I might annoy you as I'm not leaving nothing unsaid. You are known for being busy and most times you seem to be in a hurry. You are always working on something, even in high school your friends knew you were too invested on your studies and earning money than hanging out with people your age. You probably like technology and travelling, so you could own a business like a travel agency (in your country or another), transport or event planning company. In all honesty, you might end up running all three of them. The term "workaholic" does not make justice to what you are, but I will call you a genius. You were born to steal the spotlight by your innovative style at the moment of giving birth to your ideas into the real world. You can mix all your interests together and create a new business that will leave people gawking, like an app who allows users to match with vacation spots instead of people or something like that?

Some of you will rather work with tourists, renting cars, boats, and properties so their basic needs are covered. I don't know how many of you are sporty but you are adamant about turning one of your interests/hobbies in your business. You might run your own indoor rock climbing centre. If you were to ask me for specifications on what's your talent, I would say you are a natural when it comes to businesses and you hold such control over your emotions. You put your sole focus on work, nothing can distract you from achieving your goals. Not even your family, so I can see you making up to your dear ones with expensive gifts or generous check after you missed an important family event again.

Everyone who used to say "can't wait for the boomers to die off so this country finally goes blue 😎" owes me four hundred thousand dollars by the way.

It's the same shit on a different day. Your boss is gonna go from being an old boomer conservative to a frat bro CEO 'entrepreneur' who thinks he's enlightened cause he drops acid on the weekends. And both of them are gonna vote the same and both of them are gonna treat you like shit. The problem goes way beyond "hope the bad ones die" holy shit dude

Házasodna a gazda VI/3: A kazán

József gazda a hölgyekkel reggelizik. Timi asztali áldást mond a maga keresztény-spiri hite alapján.

A gazda nagyon örül neki, mert ő is nagyon vallásos. Megkérdezi, hogy az áldás originál kontent volt vagy reblog. Reblog. Akkor nincs szex. Nincs boomer társalgás a sorkatonaság felhozása nélkül. Természetesen a gazda szerint szükség lenne rá. Nem híve a liberális nevelésnek, de azzal se ért egyet, ha az emberek verik a gyerekeiket.

Kriszti elkezd arról beszélni, hogy a túl szigorú nevelés traumákat okozhat. Középső gyerekként szeretethiányosan nőtt fel és úgy érezte neki nem is jár.

A férfi teljesen kiakad azon, hogy így kellett felnőnie.

József gazda látja a potenciált az ingyen munkaerőben és kiviszi a hölgyeket dolgozni. Megtudjuk, hogy tombol benne az entrepreneur mindset és a szamóca mellett több side hustlet is visz a birtokon. Pl. hagymát termeszt.

Megmutatja a hölgyeknek a kazánházat, amit ő épített. Látszik is rajta. Nem töltenek itt sok időt, mert ez férfidolog és a hölgyeket szerinte nem érdekli. Krisztit bántja ez a kijelentés, mert őt érdekelte volna, miért nincs meleg víz, ha van kazán.

Megérkeznek a hagymához és mehet is a gazolás. Krisztit félrehívja a gazda, mert beszélgetni szeretne vele.

Nagyon megérintette a férfit a reggeli beszélgetés. A nő elárulja, hogy nehezen tud megnyílni, de igyekszik.

Bevallja, hogy kicsit offolta korábban, hogy nem mutatta meg neki a kazánt. Aggódik, hogy a férfi túl konzervatív és egy klasszikus női szerepbe akarja kényszeríteni. József gazda nem érti az összetett mondatokat, de biztosítja arról, hogy semmi ilyesmire nem készül, sőt, kifejezetten tetszik neki, hogy szakmabeli a nő. Meg fogja mutatni neki a kazánt. Visszaugrik a reggeli beszélgetésre is és azt mondja a nőnek, hogy megérdemli a szeretetet. Mindketten elsírják magukat. Nagyon szép lehet az a kazán. Színre lép Anna gazda. A 35 éves őstermelő, Pusztazámorról jelentkezik be. Egészséges ételekkel és alkoholmentes italokkal várja a fiúkákat.

Első versenyzőnk Viktor, a 27 éves pénzügyi tanácsadó.

Állítása szerint jól főz és szereti a kutyákat. Kiváló kezdés. Ajándékkal érkezett, de azt csak az első randin fogja átadni. Okos fiú. Nekünk azért felfedi, hogy egy lecsó receptet hozott, amit majd a randin fog megfőzni. Felmerül bennem a kérdés, hogy ha szeret és tud főzni, egy olyan egyszerű kajához, mint a lecsó, miért kell recept.

Annának tíz macskája van és bár imádom a macskákat, ha nincsenek ivartalanítva ez bizony egy red flag. A fiú elárulja, hogy nem jön ki a cicákkal, mert bántják. Neki is jár egy red flag. Érkezik a második áldozat, Dániel is. A 32 éves telephelyvezető elvált és már három gyereke van.

Egy körtefát hozott a lánynak. Az ajándék legalább jó. A gazdasszony elmeséli, hogy azért nincs faszija, mert az elmúlt években csak a munkának élt. Megkérdezi a férfit, hogy milyen a viszonya a természettel és figyelmezteti, hogy neki otthon elég természetközeli valami van.

Nem tudom mit ért ez alatt, de pár éve már indult egy gazda, aki gyakorlatilag csöves volt, de végül nem került be az adásba. A férfi ráizgul a nő lábaira és aztán arról beszél, hogy neki a belső értékek fontosak. Szerinte az a baj vele, hogy túl őszinte. Tehát Dani egy seggfej lesz.

Érkeznek a birtokra a következő versenyzők. Balázs, a 40 éves tűzoltó, akinek személyes küldetése életben tartani az ecsethaj stílust.

Krisztián, a 30 éves zeneszerző, aki hozott a gazdasszonynak egy fügefát.

Imre, a 34 éves telemarketinges. Ő egy plüss avokádót hozott, ami Anna szerint cuki, de nem 12 éves, szóval a cicáké lesz.

Mindenki kap pár percet a gazdasszonnyal. Imrével különösen szar volt beszélgetnie Annának, mert nem találták a közös hangot. A levele alapján jobbra számított. Lehet más írta. Elég lapos a hangulat, de érkezik még pár faszi, szóval nincs idő megbánnia a műsort. Itt van Gyuri, a 38 éves mérnök.

Máté, a 32 éves rendezvényszervező. Ő saját készítésű bodzaszörppel és lekvárral készült. Reméli, hogy a következőt már együtt csinálják.

Attila, a 32 éves kertész. Annának tetszik a pozitív vibe-ja.

Miközben a gazdasszony a jelöltekkel beszélget. A többiek a nőről csacsognak. Dániel megjegyzi mennyire jó gádzsi. Máté viszont kicsit csalódott, nem erre számított. A többiek nem értik mi baja van, de remélik, hogy ez azt jelenti, hogy eggyel kevesebben lesznek. Érkezik az utolsó versenyző.

Matyiról nem tudjuk meg mivel foglalkozik. Egy görögországi relikviát hozott a nőnek. Megkérdezi, miért jelentkezett Anna a műsorba. Túlságosan bezárkózott és most a szöges ellentétét csinálja.

Gergő gazda is kiviszi ma a lányokat dolgozni. Paprikát fognak kötözni.

Anita szerint nagyon férfias a gazda a fóliában. Gergő gyors megtanítja a lányoknak, hogy kell csomót kötni, aztán mehet is a munka.

Szandinak nehezen megy, mert alacsony. A gazda odamegy hozzá, hogy a faszméretekről beszélgessen vele. A lány azt mondja kéne még neki 10 centi, amit a gazda nem tud hozni.

Anita megkéri a gazdát, hogy segítsen neki, de csak az alkalmat kereste, hogy fogdoshassa a férfit. Kíra olyan jól halad, hogy már nem is hallja a többieket. A gazda félrehívja Fannit, hogy ha már autószerelő, lecserélhetné a traktor kerekét.

A lány szerint megvan a kémia közöttük. Nehezen boldogul a kerékkel, de a fiú emlékezteti, hogy ő mondta, hogy az autószerelés a hobbija. Fanni azzal védekezik, hogy a traktoron minden az ötszöröse egy kocsinak. Gergő nem bírja ki, hogy ne megint a faszáról beszéljen és megkérdezi a lányt, hogy talán nem szereti, ha minden az ötszörösére nő. De.

Amúgy a lány tényleg tudja mit csinál, szóval nem kamuzott. Bevallja a gazdának, hogy zavarban van előtte, pedig általában fordítva szokott lenni. Nagyon romantikus ez a gumicsere.

Egyelőre nem élem ezt az évadot.

"Then sometimes she threatens to kiss me and I get a boner when she corrects my spelling. ...Is that weird?"

German Tailor: "...oh nein, look at ze time! Johann must take a nap! Guten tag, teenage boy, please leaf my shop!"

"...He wasn't very helpful."

Girl the merchant admitted he didn't read the assignment.

EXCUSE ME SIR WE HAVE A POINT TO MAKE TO THE OTHER.

Okay but this is such married person argument it isn't even funny.

Damn someone's read Atlas Shrugged. I bet he calls himself an entrepreneur.

His donkey is ready to fight jfc.

lol Sarah does not give a fuck about finding Henri. Full-on free-range parenting, just like her mother.

lolololol

In his defense you changed the subject very abruptly, sarah. You do that alot.

Boomer amrev nerds have one inside joke and they're very proud of it.

This is either cute, or him mansplaining shit, and I can't decide which.

I guess it worked on her? And damn she changed the subject again.

wow. amazing. perfect flirtation there, Sarah.

It half worked on him, half confused him.

bruh how far away are they from the shop???

Well, its a very literate dive bar! Their book club meets every Wednesday night.

ayyy its the mountain man twink.

The hustle of this kid. See this is why he's the best spy in this outfit.

The only way Sarah could break the hustle was with the sheer force of her power-lifter's upper body

....I love the implication that the rough sailor guy in the middle decided to read the source text for himself. He's giving me the literate Orc vibes.

Her fight reflex is way too stimulated rn.

I kind of feel for her right now, she's going absolutely crazy that nobody sees her pretty valid point.

When consumers hear the name Amazon, they immediately pay attention. Amazon is appropriately called the everything store since it sells and delivers everything from retail items and advertising to technology and movies. It's no surprise that entrepreneurs are interested in what was once the world's biggest online bookshop. The international eCommerce giant has won a slew of prestigious awards for its rapid expansion, strong sales performance, and satisfied vendor base. Here are ten facts about Amazon that are useful to know whether you’re trying to sell an Amazon business or you’re proudly building up your business’s resume and product portfolio.   Amazon Controls 45% Of The Online Retail Industry In The United States In total, Amazon offers more than a dozen million products and services. If you include everything that marketplace vendors offer, however, the total jumps to around 350 million. Yes, there is a great deal of rivalry, but there are also several opportunities for brand exposure and product sales. Statista reports that in 2019, Amazon accounted for 45% of all U.S. eCommerce expenditure and that by 2020, that number would have risen to 47%. Members In The Prime Tier Have High Expenditure Limits Over 100 million people worldwide are Amazon Prime members, and they frequently spend more than $1,000 per year. This might be an additional incentive to have Amazon handle your fulfillment, or at least to have your products become Prime-eligible. Those who don't have Prime memberships are somewhat more hesitant to make large purchases than their Prime-holding peers. Most Amazon customers who are not Prime members spend between $100 and $500 annually. Almost One-third Of All U.S. Residents Are Prime Members More than ninety-five million American residents have claimed membership in the Amazon Prime service, making the Amazon Marketplace in the United States very large. They account for almost two-thirds of Amazon.com's overall readership in the United States. The Largest Demographic Group Is Young Adults Even if millennials receive a poor name elsewhere, it's not for their Amazon use. When compared to the Baby Boomer generation, millennials use Amazon at a rate of two to one. Amazon Is Crushing It In The Old-Fashioned Stores The home improvement market is seeing one of the most significant shifts in consumer behavior as a result of the Internet. Amazon's 1.1 million home renovation goods show a clear trend away from offline purchasing, as formerly purchasers would travel to their local hardware store and have an expert assist them to select supplies in person. Almost Everyone Uses Amazon To Compare Prices Amazon is the first place most people go when looking for a good bargain online, with 90% of consumers checking the site often. Customers use this to find the greatest overall deal in terms of pricing, service, and turnaround time. While Black Friday And Cyber Monday Do Well, They Are Not The Best Days To Shop The day to mark on your calendar if you want a huge increase in sales is Prime Day. In addition to being the day with the highest number of new Prime members, it also has the highest conversion rate (18.6%) and the highest average order value. In comparison to both Cyber Monday and Black Friday. As Of Right Now, Alexa Isn't Quite The Instant Purchasing Tool Although over fifty million Amazon Echo devices have been sold since their introduction in 2015, they are not yet extensively utilized for making purchases. About 2% of Alexa users actually use Alexa to make a new purchase, although many more use Alexa for queries and order status checks. This demonstrates that customers still place high importance on product images and descriptions before making a purchase decision. Yet There Is Still Much Alexa Can Accomplish Alexa has learned over 30,000 skills and can operate over 4,000 different home gadgets in her short time on Earth. She has made tremendous progress in learning English over the years, jumping by 25% in just the last year alone.

Many Retailers Now Sell On Many Channels As Amazon launches more of its private label products and as competition increases, almost 80% of Amazon vendors choose other platforms to sell on. In order to guarantee a stable revenue, sellers are branching out to other platforms rather than relying just on Amazon. Final Words Amazon's online sales continue to astound. Amazon has established itself as the go-to online retailer, and it's just becoming stronger as it allows other businesses to profit from its success.

[ad_1] The landscape of entrepreneurship is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by rapid technological advancements. For Baby Boomer entrepreneurs, this digital revolution presents both unique challenges and unprecedented opportunities. With decades of business acumen and industry expertise, these seasoned professionals are uniquely positioned to leverage cutting-edge tech tools for accelerated growth. However, navigating this new terrain requires a delicate balance of traditional wisdom and digital savvy. Recent studies paint a compelling picture: according to the AARP Entrepreneur Survey 2024, 68% of Boomer business owners report that adopting new technologies was crucial for their growth in the past year. This statistic underscores a critical truth – in today’s hyper-connected world, embracing digital solutions isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity for survival and success. This article delves into the essential tech tools empowering Boomer-led businesses, exploring how these entrepreneurs can harness digital innovation to overcome challenges, streamline operations, and drive sustainable growth. From cloud-based platforms that enhance collaboration to AI-powered analytics that inform strategic decisions, we’ll examine the transformative potential of technology in the hands of experienced business leaders. As we embark on this exploration, remember: the goal isn’t to replace years of hard-earned knowledge with algorithms and automation. Instead, it’s about augmenting that invaluable experience with powerful digital tools, creating a synergy that can propel Boomer-led businesses to new heights in the digital age. Overview Essential tech tools are revolutionizing how Boomer entrepreneurs grow their businesses, with 68% reporting crucial impact on growth. Adapting to digital environments requires continuous learning and agile methodologies, with companies implementing these strategies seeing 60% increase in growth. Strategic tech investments can significantly boost profitability, with digitally transformed businesses being 26% more profitable than industry peers. Effective integration of new technologies into existing models is critical, with successful change management leading to 3.5 times better performance. Staying competitive demands ongoing digital innovation, including leveraging data analytics and emerging technologies for informed decision-making. Balancing traditional acumen with new tech requirements is key, with digitally savvy leadership teams outperforming peers by 48% in revenue growth. In the digital age, Baby Boomer entrepreneurs are discovering that the right technology can be a powerful catalyst for business growth. However, the sheer number of available tools can be overwhelming. The key is to identify which technologies align best with your specific business needs and goals. Technology is nothing. Whats important is that you have a faith in people, that theyre basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, theyll do wonderful things with them.Steve Jobs. This sentiment from Steve Jobs underscores a crucial point: technology itself isn’t the solution, but rather a means to empower people—in this case, experienced entrepreneurs—to achieve their business objectives. When assessing your business’s technological needs, start by examining your current processes. Where are the bottlenecks? Which tasks consume the most time? These pain points are often prime candidates for technological intervention. For instance, if customer relationship management is a challenge, a CRM system might be your first priority. Essential digital platforms for startups vary depending on the nature of your business, but some are universally beneficial. These include: Project management tools (e.g., Asana, Trello) Communication platforms (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams) Cloud storage solutions (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive) Accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, FreshBooks) Cloud-based solutions offer particular advantages for small businesses, including scalability, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility from anywhere. When comparing options, consider factors such as: Ease of use Integration capabilities with other tools Security features Customer support quality Pricing structure For Boomer entrepreneurs, the learning curve associated with new technology can be a concern. However, many modern tools are designed with user-friendliness in mind. Look for platforms that offer comprehensive onboarding processes and robust customer support. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools deserve special attention. They can transform how you interact with clients, track sales, and manage your pipeline. When evaluating CRM tools, consider: Contact management capabilities Sales tracking and forecasting features Email marketing integration Customization options Mobile accessibility According to a recent AARP Entrepreneur Survey, 68% of Boomer business owners reported that adopting new technologies was crucial for their business growth in the past year. This statistic underscores the importance of staying current with technological trends. Remember, the goal isn’t to adopt every new tool on the market, but to strategically select and implement technologies that will drive your business forward. Start with one or two key areas where technology can make the biggest impact, and expand from there as you become more comfortable and see tangible benefits. Adapting to Rapidly Evolving Digital Business Environments The digital business landscape is in a constant state of flux, presenting both challenges and opportunities for Boomer entrepreneurs. Understanding this evolving environment is crucial for staying competitive and leveraging new technologies effectively. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.Alan Watts. This philosophy is particularly relevant for Boomer entrepreneurs navigating the digital transformation landscape. It’s not just about adopting new tools; it’s about embracing a mindset of continuous adaptation and learning. Digital transformation encompasses more than just technology adoption. It involves rethinking business processes, customer engagement strategies, and even organizational culture. For Boomer entrepreneurs, this might mean: Shifting from traditional marketing to digital marketing channels Embracing e-commerce platforms to expand market reach Utilizing data analytics to make more informed business decisions Implementing remote work technologies to access a broader talent pool Continuous learning and skill development are essential in this rapidly changing environment. Strategies for staying current include: Enrolling in online courses focused on digital skills (e.g., Coursera, Udemy) Attending industry webinars and virtual conferences Joining professional networks and online communities focused on technology and entrepreneurship Subscribing to relevant podcasts and newsletters According to a Deloitte Insights report, 87% of companies believe that digital technologies will disrupt their industry. However, only 44% feel adequately prepared for this disruption. This gap represents both a challenge and an opportunity for Boomer entrepreneurs who are willing to invest in their digital skills. Leveraging online resources and communities for tech support can be invaluable. Platforms like Stack Overflow for technical questions, or industry-specific forums, can provide quick solutions to common problems. Additionally, many software providers offer extensive documentation, video tutorials, and user communities that can be excellent sources of information and support. Implementing agile methodologies in traditional business models can help Boomer entrepreneurs adapt more quickly to changing market conditions. Agile principles, originally developed for software development, can be applied to various business processes: Iterative development: Break large projects into smaller, manageable chunks Regular feedback loops: Continuously gather and incorporate customer feedback Cross-functional collaboration: Encourage teams to work across departmental boundaries Flexibility in planning: Be prepared to pivot strategies based on new information or market changes A Harvard Business Review study found that companies implementing agile methodologies experienced a 60% increase in revenue and profit growth compared to non-agile companies. This highlights the potential impact of adopting more flexible, technology-driven business practices. For Boomer entrepreneurs, the key to success in this rapidly evolving digital environment lies in balancing their wealth of experience with a willingness to embrace new technologies and methodologies. By doing so, they can leverage their industry knowledge and business acumen while staying competitive in the digital age. Maximizing ROI on Technology Investments for New Ventures For Boomer entrepreneurs launching new ventures, making smart technology investments is crucial for long-term success. The key is to maximize return on investment (ROI) by carefully selecting and implementing tools that align with your business goals. Conducting a thorough cost-benefit analysis for tech investments is the first step. This process involves: Identifying all potential costs, including: Initial purchase or subscription fees Implementation costs (e.g., setup, data migration) Training expenses Ongoing maintenance and support costs Estimating potential benefits, such as: Time savings Increased productivity Revenue growth opportunities Cost reductions in other areas Calculating the expected ROI over a specific timeframe (e.g., 1 year, 3 years, 5 years) The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.Bill Gates. This insight from Bill Gates underscores the importance of prioritizing tech tools based on their potential business impact. Not all technologies will deliver equal value to your venture. Focus on tools that address your most significant pain points or offer the greatest potential for growth. When evaluating tech investments, consider the following factors: Scalability: Can the technology grow with your business? Integration capabilities: Will it work well with your existing systems? User adoption: How easily can your team learn and use the new tool? Competitive advantage: Will this technology give you an edge in your market? Exploring subscription vs. one-time purchase models is another important consideration. Subscription-based Software as a Service (SaaS) models often offer lower upfront costs and regular updates, while one-time purchases might be more cost-effective in the long run for certain types of software. According to a recent MIT Technology Review report, businesses that prioritize digital transformation are 26% more profitable than their industry peers. This statistic highlights the potential impact of well-planned technology investments. Measuring and tracking technology ROI metrics is crucial for ongoing evaluation of your investments. Key metrics to consider include: Productivity improvements (e.g., time saved per task) Customer acquisition costs Customer retention rates Revenue growth attributable to new technology Cost savings in other areas of the business Implement a system for regularly reviewing these metrics and be prepared to adjust your technology strategy based on the results. Remember, ROI isn’t always immediate; some technologies may take time to show their full value. For Boomer entrepreneurs, leveraging their business experience to make strategic technology decisions can be a significant advantage. Combine your industry knowledge with thorough research and analysis to make technology investments that will truly drive your new venture forward. Integrating New Technologies into Existing Business Models For many Boomer entrepreneurs, the challenge lies not just in selecting the right technologies, but in effectively integrating them into established business models. This process requires careful planning, execution, and change management. The first step is mapping technology integration points in your business. This involves: Identifying key business processes (e.g., sales, customer service, operations) Determining how new technologies can enhance or streamline these processes Anticipating potential challenges or disruptions during integration The biggest part of our digital transformation is changing the way we think.Simeon Preston, Bupa. This insight highlights that successful technology integration is as much about mindset as it is about the tools themselves. For Boomer entrepreneurs, it’s crucial to approach this process with an open mind and a willingness to reimagine established practices. Developing a phased approach to tech implementation can help manage the complexity of the integration process. This might involve: Starting with a pilot project in one department or process Gathering feedback and making necessary adjustments Gradually rolling out the technology to other areas of the business Continuously monitoring and optimizing performance Training staff and building a tech-savvy team culture is critical for successful technology adoption. Strategies for this include: Providing comprehensive training programs for all new technologies Encouraging peer-to-peer learning and knowledge sharing Recognizing and rewarding employees who embrace new technologies Leading by example – demonstrate your own commitment to learning and using new tools According to a McKinsey Global Institute report, companies that successfully manage change are 3.5 times more likely to outperform their industry peers. This underscores the importance of effective change management in technology integration. Overcoming resistance to technological change can be a significant challenge, particularly in established businesses. Some strategies to address this include: Clearly communicating the benefits of new technologies to all stakeholders Involving employees in the selection and implementation process Providing ample support and resources during the transition period Celebrating early wins and sharing success stories Remember, integration is an ongoing process. Regularly assess the performance of your new technologies and be prepared to make adjustments as needed. The goal is to create a flexible, technology-enhanced business model that can adapt to future changes and opportunities. For Boomer entrepreneurs, successfully integrating new technologies into existing business models can provide a powerful competitive advantage. It allows you to combine your wealth of industry experience with cutting-edge tools and practices, positioning your business for sustained growth and success in the digital age. Staying Competitive with Digital Innovation Strategies In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, staying competitive requires a commitment to continuous digital innovation. For Boomer entrepreneurs, this means not only keeping up with current trends but also anticipating future developments that could impact their industries. Benchmarking your tech stack against industry standards is a crucial first step. This process involves: Identifying key technologies used by leading companies in your industry Assessing your current technological capabilities compared to these standards Identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement The most dangerous phrase in the language is, Weve always done it this way.Grace Hopper. This wisdom from computer science pioneer Grace Hopper is particularly relevant for Boomer entrepreneurs navigating the digital landscape. It underscores the importance of challenging established practices and being open to new approaches. Exploring emerging technologies for business advantage is another critical aspect of staying competitive. Some areas to watch include: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning: For tasks like customer service chatbots, predictive analytics, and personalized marketing Internet of Things (IoT): For improved data collection and process optimization Blockchain: For enhanced security and transparency in transactions Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR): For innovative customer experiences and improved training methods According to a Forbes Technology Council report, 84% of companies that work to improve their customer experience report an increase in revenue. This statistic highlights the potential impact of leveraging emerging technologies to enhance customer interactions. Leveraging data analytics for informed decision making is increasingly crucial in today’s data-driven business environment. This involves: Implementing tools to collect and analyze relevant data Training staff to interpret and act on data insights Using data to inform strategic decisions and measure performance Implementing digital marketing strategies for growth is another key aspect of staying competitive. This might include: Developing a strong social media presence Implementing search engine optimization (SEO) techniques Utilizing email marketing for customer engagement and retention Exploring paid digital advertising options A recent study by the Harvard Business Review found that companies that have embraced digital transformation are 26% more profitable than their industry peers. This underscores the potential impact of a comprehensive digital innovation strategy. For Boomer entrepreneurs, staying competitive in the digital age requires a balance of experience-driven intuition and data-driven decision making. By embracing digital innovation strategies, you can leverage your industry knowledge and business acumen while taking advantage of cutting-edge technologies and practices. Remember, the goal isn’t to adopt every new technology that comes along, but to strategically select and implement innovations that align with your business goals and provide tangible benefits. Stay curious, remain open to new ideas, and don’t be afraid to experiment – these are the hallmarks of successful digital innovators, regardless of age or experience level. Balancing Traditional Business Acumen with New Tech Requirements For Boomer entrepreneurs, one of the most significant challenges—and opportunities—lies in bridging the gap between traditional business practices and the demands of the digital age. The key is to leverage your wealth of experience while embracing new technologies and methodologies. Combining experience-based insights with data-driven approaches can lead to powerful business strategies. Here’s how to strike this balance: Use data to validate (or challenge) your intuitions Leverage your industry knowledge to interpret data in context Combine quantitative metrics with qualitative insights from your experience Use technology to enhance, not replace, your decision-making process The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.Socrates. This ancient wisdom is surprisingly relevant for modern Boomer entrepreneurs navigating technological change. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on future opportunities rather than clinging to outdated practices. Adapting leadership styles for a digital-first business environment is crucial. This might involve: Embracing more collaborative and less hierarchical structures Encouraging experimentation and learning from failures Fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation Leading by example in adopting and utilizing new technologies A study from MIT Sloan Management Review found that companies with digitally savvy leadership teams outperform their peers by 48% in revenue growth and valuation. This underscores the importance of leadership adaptation in the digital age. Bridging the gap between traditional and digital business practices requires a thoughtful approach: Identify which traditional practices still add value and find ways to enhance them with technology Recognize when legacy systems or processes are holding the business back and be willing to replace them Look for ways to digitize successful traditional practices to make them more efficient or scalable Use your experience to ensure that digital transformations align with core business principles and values Creating a future-proof business model with scalable tech solutions involves: Adopting cloud-based technologies that can grow with your business Implementing modular systems that allow for easy updates and additions Prioritizing data security and privacy in all technological implementations Staying informed about emerging technologies and their potential impacts on your industry According to a recent Deloitte survey, 85% of CEOs accelerated digital initiatives during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 77% saying they will continue to increase investment in digital transformation. This trend highlights the growing importance of tech-enabled business models. For Boomer entrepreneurs, the key to success lies in leveraging your years of business experience while embracing the opportunities presented by new technologies. Your deep understanding of your industry, combined with a willingness to adapt and innovate, can give you a unique advantage in the digital marketplace. Remember, the goal isn’t to completely reinvent your business overnight, but to evolve strategically, integrating new technologies and practices in ways that enhance your existing strengths and address your most pressing challenges. By striking this balance, you can create a business model that’s not only competitive today but well-positioned for future success.

FAQ How can Boomer entrepreneurs overcome the initial learning curve associated with new technologies? Overcoming the initial learning curve is a common concern, but it’s entirely achievable with the right approach. Start by focusing on one technology at a time, rather than trying to master everything at once. Many modern tools offer comprehensive tutorials and user-friendly interfaces designed for easy adoption. Consider enrolling in online courses specifically tailored for entrepreneurs learning new technologies. Platforms like Coursera and Udemy offer a wide range of options. Additionally, leverage your network to find mentors or peers who can guide you through the learning process. Remember, the goal isn’t to become a tech expert overnight, but to understand how these tools can benefit your business. Start with technologies that directly address your most pressing business needs, and you’ll find the learning process more manageable and immediately rewarding. What are the most essential tech tools for Boomer entrepreneurs just starting their digital transformation journey? For Boomer entrepreneurs beginning their digital transformation, focus on foundational tools that can have an immediate impact: Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system: This helps manage customer interactions and data, improving sales and service. Cloud-based productivity suite (e.g., Google Workspace, Microsoft 365): These offer essential tools for document creation, collaboration, and communication. Social media management platform: To effectively manage your online presence and engage with customers. Accounting software: For streamlined financial management and reporting. Project management tool: To keep teams organized and track progress on various initiatives. Start with these core tools and gradually expand your tech stack as you become more comfortable and identify additional needs in your business operations. How can Boomer entrepreneurs ensure data security when adopting new technologies? Data security is a critical concern when adopting new technologies. Here are key steps to ensure your data remains protected: Implement strong password policies and use two-factor authentication wherever possible. Regularly update all software and systems to patch security vulnerabilities. Train your staff on cybersecurity best practices and the importance of data protection. Use reputable cloud services that offer robust security measures and compliance with industry standards. Implement a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for secure remote access to your business network. Regularly back up your data and test your recovery processes. Consider working with a cybersecurity consultant to assess your systems and implement appropriate security measures. Remember, data security is an ongoing process, not a one-time task. Stay informed about the latest security threats and best practices to keep your business protected. What strategies can Boomer entrepreneurs use to stay updated on the latest technological trends relevant to their industry? Staying updated on technological trends is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. Here are effective strategies: Subscribe to industry-specific technology newsletters and publications. Follow thought leaders and tech influencers on social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter. Attend industry conferences and webinars focused on technology trends. Join professional associations that offer resources and networking opportunities related to technology in your industry. Participate in online forums and communities where professionals discuss emerging technologies. Set up Google Alerts for key technology terms relevant to your industry. Consider forming a “tech advisory board” with younger team members or external consultants who can provide fresh perspectives on technological developments. Dedicate time each week to learning about new technologies. This consistent effort will help you stay ahead of the curve and identify opportunities for innovation in your business. How can Boomer entrepreneurs measure the ROI of their technology investments? Measuring the ROI of technology investments is crucial for ensuring that your digital transformation efforts are paying off. Here’s how to approach it: Establish clear baseline metrics before implementing new technology. Set specific, measurable goals for what you expect the technology to achieve. Track key performance indicators (KPIs) that align with these goals, such as: Time saved on specific tasks Increase in productivity or output Cost savings in other areas of the business Revenue growth attributable to the new technology Customer satisfaction scores Use analytics tools built into the technology to gather data on usage and performance. Conduct regular reviews (e.g., quarterly) to assess the impact of the technology. Calculate ROI using the formula: ROI = (Net Benefit / Cost of Investment) x 100 Remember that some benefits, like improved customer experience or employee satisfaction, may be harder to quantify but are still valuable. Consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in your assessment. What are the common pitfalls Boomer entrepreneurs should avoid when implementing new technologies? When implementing new technologies, be aware of these common pitfalls: Overinvesting in unnecessary features: Focus on tools that address your specific business needs rather than getting distracted by flashy but irrelevant features. Neglecting staff training: Adequate training is crucial for successful adoption. Invest time and resources in ensuring your team can effectively use new tools. Failing to integrate systems: New technologies should work seamlessly with your existing systems. Poor integration can lead to inefficiencies and data silos. Ignoring scalability: Choose solutions that can grow with your business to avoid the need for frequent, disruptive changes. Overlooking data security: Ensure that any new technology adheres to robust security standards to protect your business and customer data. Resisting change: Be open to adjusting your processes to fully leverage new technologies, rather than trying to force new tools into old ways of working. Neglecting ongoing support and maintenance: Budget for continued support, updates, and potential upgrades to keep your technology effective over time. By being aware of these pitfalls, you can plan more effectively and increase the chances of successful technology implementation. How can Boomer entrepreneurs effectively communicate the benefits of new technologies to their team and customers? Effectively communicating the benefits of new technologies is crucial for gaining buy-in from your team and customers. Here’s how to approach it: For Your Team: Clearly explain how the technology will make their jobs easier or more efficient. Involve team members in the selection process to increase their investment in the change. Provide comprehensive training and ongoing support. Showcase early wins and success stories to build enthusiasm. Address concerns openly and honestly, emphasizing your commitment to supporting the team through the transition. For Your Customers: Focus on how the technology will improve their experience (e.g., faster service, more personalized interactions). Use clear, non-technical language to explain benefits. Offer demos or trials to let customers experience the improvements firsthand. Gather and share positive feedback from early adopters. Provide multiple channels for customers to ask questions or voice concerns about the new technology. In both cases, emphasize that adopting new technologies is about enhancing, not replacing, the human touch that your business is known for. Show how technology allows you to focus more on building relationships and delivering value. What role does company culture play in successful technology adoption for Boomer-led businesses? Company culture plays a crucial role in successful technology adoption, especially in Boomer-led businesses. A culture that embraces innovation and continuous learning can significantly accelerate the adoption of new technologies and drive digital transformation. Key aspects of a technology-friendly culture include: Open-mindedness: Encourage curiosity and willingness to explore new ways of working. Learning orientation: Foster a culture where continuous learning is valued and supported. Collaboration: Promote cross-generational teamwork to blend experience with tech-savviness. Risk tolerance: Create an environment where calculated risks and experimentation are encouraged. Transparency: Maintain open communication about the reasons for and impacts of technological changes. Flexibility: Be willing to adapt processes and structures to fully leverage new technologies. Recognition: Acknowledge and reward employees who embrace and champion new technologies. As a Boomer entrepreneur, you play a critical role in shaping this culture. Lead by example by actively engaging with new technologies and demonstrating a growth mindset. Encourage feedback and ideas from all levels of the organization, and be open to insights from younger team members who may have different perspectives on technology. Remember, successful technology adoption isn’t just about the tools themselves, but about creating an environment where people are excited to use and optimize these tools for the benefit of the business and its customers.

"According to a new report from Charles Schwab, almost half of boomers surveyed (45%) said they wanted "to enjoy my money for myself while I'm still alive" — while only 11% of Gen Xers and 15% of millennials said the same."

so boomers ARE just greedy

Gen X is dying

Something I have been noticing if not completely self awareness, but its a symptom of a greater issue.

After the murder of the healthcare CEO in New York, my theory was cemented. Gen X is dying at a incredibly rapid rate. From 44 to 60, Gen X is not going to last much longer. 65 Million was the estimate in 1980, but today Gen X is just 19% of the population. Between health care with Long Covid to Gun Violence men and women are passing away more and more.

For me, I know that health care is incredibly expensive and if you are trying to deal with Long Covid you might find yourself going to multiple different doctors from oncologist to immunology with multiple tests and doctor office visits yielding more than $10,000 in medical bills. Thus, you may go without health insurance all together or be denied coverage.

Next, Gen X has the worst money management skills while we happily have started a 401k most don't know where it is and worse we had to cash it out to take care of our parents or our children. Plus, many went to secondary college or went back so add in another thirty thousand dollars for education and we are in debt.

After a divorce or sudden illness or now a literal job loss, Gen X is without a job, medical care and possibly shelter as the amount of Gen X that reported to experience homelessness is just under 200K nationwide.

Now, the population of Gen X in jail is small but still close to 1% of the overall jail population having served over 20 years of their lives already incarcerated.

Gen X is also a population that split among military, medical, education and entrepreneurs we still haven't cured cancer and worse its the last population to have regular immunizations. There is not enough Gen X population to spread measles immunity or worse Gen X may develop a more debilitating shingles and RSV condition. As it is, Gen X is mostly diagnosed with diabetes and heart disease. These two diseases are killing Gen X close to a million over the past four years.

Gen X also will be the generation that won't retire because we have to wait another 6 years after age 65 to file paperwork. While Baby Boomers are now a mere 40% of the population they are living much longer than Gen X the average age of Baby Boomer is 70 years old and most are still working even it is part time.

Gen X not only will not retire but, Gen X won't see the benefit of social security. Gen X won't be able to utilize Medicare benefit because they will be working. The wage limit to access benefits will be so out of date and proposed elimination of departments that manage said benefits - are nothingness.

While I am maybe facing such a dire warning and maybe experiencing a little bit of mortality. Unfortunately, figures are not lying Gen X is dying with the life expectancy is just 73 year and 20% of deaths in 2023 were of Gen X 45-60 year olds. That is a world wide statistic; in United States 7% of deaths were of Gen X leading cause ? Cancer and about 2% were self inflicted deaths.

The opportunity to have elected the first Gen X president passed this generation by and will probably not come again. We collectively not royally better prepare of our passing because we're cooked.
