The Ideal Retirement Gift
Traditionally, retirement meant the end of a person’s productive working life. Companies used to mark it by gifting retirees with a gold watch, honouring the time the employee spent with the company and marking the passage of time.
However, if you are the owner or HR manager of a progressive business, you know that, nowadays, retiring employees often leave the company ready for change and hungry to start a new and productive chapter of their lives.
More and more people prepare for retirement by considering starting a new venture. Some people can’t wait to retire so that they can start the business that they’ve dreamed about founding. Others look forward to hitting the golf links or spending more time with their families, but soon miss the structure of working life so much that they find they need something creative to do.
Now, you can present your retiring employees with a valuable gift which will help boost them into the world of entrepreneurship; give them a copy of WISER: The Definitive Guide to Starting a Business After the Age of 50.
This book is a valuable new resource.

“Having designed and facilitated programming to assist entrepreneurs from all age groups, but particularly those first-time entrepreneurs over the age of 50, I have experienced their anxiety over jumping into entrepreneurship. The hesitancy to leap into something that they really want to do usually stems from a fear of the number of considerations and decisions that a new entrepreneur must face. WISER, The Definitive Guide To Starting a Business After The Age of 50, goes a long way to demystifying starting a business with practical advice supported by wonderful audio clips from those that have been there.
The book and the accompanying website take you on the complete entrepreneurial journey from idea to exit. Wendy’s writing style makes the material very accessible and dispenses with the abstract. I have been so impressed with this text that we will be using it as a supplemental text in our senior entrepreneurship program.
It is a fantastic resource for any new entrepreneur!”
