A Second Act with Purpose
Starting a Business? Here are Some Ideas...

"Encore Career Handbook" Focuses on Doing Good in Life's Second Half

Books"What's next?" is perhaps the most compelling question asked by those approaching life's second half. Thankfully, you don't have to answer that question alone, because there are numerous resources available to assist you. One of the more intriguing sources is an organization called Encore.org, which believes in "second acts for the greater good," a concept that holds great appeal for seniors who want to live with purpose.

Encore.org offers a useful guide, The Encore Career Handbook, which the organization says is "a road map to every step of the encore career journey. Here’s how to plan the transition. How much you need to make. The pros and cons of going back to school. When to volunteer, and when to intern. How to network effectively and harness the power of social media. Who’s hiring and for what jobs? (Check out the Encore Hot List of 35 viable careers)."
