Many entrepreneurs and small business owners need advice from consultants who work on an hourly basis. If you're an expert in your field, a consulting business can bring in extra income and still give you the flexibility you crave during retirement.

Doris, looks like you and I found the same article! Just as an update for everyone, I dove deeper into the opportunities for taking surveys to make money. I signed up for Focus Point Global (www.focusgroup.com). They do not have an office in our area, but perhaps additional online surveys may become available. the other company "Delve" seems to have been taken over by Focus Point as their web page defaults to Focus Point. This information may save someone from wasting a bit of time.
This happens to Lisa and me, too. Sometimes our timing is just a bit off. Good work, Annette, on delving into Delve and Focus Point Global. Glad to see you here, too.

What is the difference between temporary staffing services and a PEO?
A temporary staffing service recruits and hires employees and assigns them to clients to support or supplement the client's workforce in special work situations, such as employee absences, temporary skill shortages or seasonal workloads. These workers are traditionally only a small portion of the client's workforce. A PEO hires the clients existing employees and assigns them back. These employees can be full time, part time or seasonal workers. These workers make up the bulk of the clients workforce.
Great article by Art Koff at Next Avenue on how to find jobs in retirement using the temp job, part-time, volunteer, project routes of entry. Sounds perfect for ECO members!
A new study from Merrill Lynch addresses the myths and motivations around retirement. Nearly three out of five retirees launch into a new line of work after retirement, according to the study, and working retirees are three times more likely to be entrepreneurs than pre-retirees.
"Retirement today is a much more dynamic and fluid process where people re-invent themselves and go through phases of transition."
If you’re not ready to fully jump into entrepreneurship, but want to stay active in your field, Wald suggests considering part-time consultancy. Staying relevant in their industries for retirees means keeping up with technological advances, and staying in touch with former colleagues—not faking the latest cool gadgets to appear younger.
What are the activities that we humans, driven by our deepest nature or by the realities of daily life, will simply insist be performed by other humans?Those tasks are mostly relational. Being in a position of authority or accountability. Being a caregiver. Being part of a team. Transactional jobs are declining but relational jobs are expanding.
Empathy becomes a more important workplace skill, the ability to sense what another human being is feeling or thinking.
The ability to function in a group also becomes more important
I’m not sure we’re about to be overrun with waves of Byronic romantics, but we have been living through an unromantic period and there’s bound to be a correction. People eventually want their souls stirred, especially if the stuff regarded as soft and squishy turns out in a relational economy to be hard and practical.
