According to an article recently published in The New York Times, the Baby Boomer generation was one of the hardest hit groups as many have suffered financially from sharp declines in their home values, they are earning next to nothing on their savings, they were laid off from their jobs and are having a hard time finding work, or they retired and cannot afford to live off of just social security any longer.
Although many of these Boomers are having a difficult time making ends meet, one expert and successful business owner says many hidden second career and business opportunities exist during weak economic times. Retirees just need to know where to look.
Meet Ricky Cohen, highly successful business owner, visionary coach, and author of the new book for planning realistic second career goals, Risk to Succeed Essential Lessons for Discovering Your Unique Talents & Finding Success (McGraw Hill, November 2012).
By sharing his knowledge, insight, and experience, Cohen teaches how anyone who wants a more fulfilling and satisfying personal and professional life to develop a realistic plan of action with achievable goals. Cohen’s guidance is essential to anyone – whether it is a high school or college student, entrepreneur, mid-level manager, CEO, or retiree – who aspires to have a career fueled by passion, and feel fulfilled by his or her work and profession.
Cohen can also share how:
· In today’s unpredictable economic climate, anyone – regardless of skill level and education – can discover and take advantage of hidden career opportunities
· Failing publicly can be an illuminating life lesson
· By setting aside five hours per week or one hour per weekday, risk takers – regardless of education and experience – can plan and launch a rewarding and satisfying career or business
A resident of New York, Cohen holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and management from New York University. He served as the Chairman and CEO of Conway Stores and grew its revenue forty-fold. Currently, he is the Chairman and CEO of the Conway Organization, a company involved in real estate and hospitality. For more than three decades, he has taught thousands of men and women personal and career leadership skills based on the Risk to Succeed principles.
