Web Business Retirement Plan: 50 Is Too Late
June 3rd, 2010 by kct from shrewdies | Filed under Web Business.Business Retirement Plan
Not too long after one personal milestone[1], tomorrow brings another – I’m retiring.
Four years ago, I moved from full-time to part-time employment. During that time, I also shifted careers to a job in PR[2]. Tomorrow sees an end to paid employment for me. An end to work.
But not an end to income, because playing on the Internet is my new income source. My best web business retirement plan.
The way I do web business is to find something I enjoy – something I would still want to do if I won the lottery. Maybe it’s something I enjoy, like programming and configuring computer applications to get the most out of them. Tinkering is a great way to pass time between social visits. Maybe it’s researching subjects that interest me and presenting good knowledge to others. Teaching is a great way to pass time between trips to the coast and beyond.
I’m writing this between sunbathing sessions. Nice to get a cooling break every so often.
Retiring from working for others to spend time enjoying making money is a pleasure. Having time to spend it is a joy. It’s too good to rush, so things will develop here very slowly.
Yes, this site will teach you how to plan and manage your own web business. Yes, my WordPress Web Hosting site will teach you how to handle the technical issues if you don’t want to pay someone else to do them. But it might be a few months before there are comprehensive step by step plans. My priority is to run my existing sites to fund my retirement plan. As time allows, I’ll pass on the best tips for you to enjoy your own retirement.
The only thing that will prompt me to do it any quicker is for you to ask me about it. I love answering questions, so the technical WordPress Web Hosting Question section is now open, and I’ll be adding a management version here very soon.
OK, gotta go now and spend some quality time in the sun with the grandkids. I could get used to retirement.
