The baby boomer generation (born 1946-1964) is in a financial crisis. Most boomers do not have enough money saved for retirement, and want to continue working in any event. In his new book, BOOMER REINVENTION: How to Create Your Dream Career Over 50, career coach John Tarnoff lays out a proven methodology of 5 key steps and 23 actionable strategies to give boomers the resources and confidence they need to keep working. This “second act” career can be not only a financially successful one, but a personally fulfilling one as well. In this episode, we pick up from a previous interview as John shares insights on how to begin a career reinvention, and the reinvention experiences of some of the boomers profiled in his book. Whether you’re in need of a career reinvention yourself or perfectly content where you are, John’s witty and humorous style help us all stay positively focused on the world of work and all it can mean for us.

Considering retirement after a long career in corporate America, but just aren’t sure if you have saved enough money? Or maybe you one of the “working worried,” sure you’ll be the next one at work asked to leave, and you’re not ready to hang it up yet? Once entering the job search, many seasoned workers find themselves applying for countless jobs, only to hear the constant refrain, “thanks but you’re overqualified.” Others consider starting a new business but just don’t know if they’re on the right track or have what it takes to successfully operate it. The future seems increasingly uncertain especially for the Boomer generation in relation to how they experience work and earn money. In this episode, John Tarnoff shares his insights on unique issues facing Boomers and what they can do to radically alter their future by considering the possibilities to reimagine and reinvent themselves in surprisingly new ways to literally thrive in the new economy.
