Will this be the year you finally gain a little more control over your life... or earn some extra income by "Outsourcing Yourself"?
Right now, someone close to me is going through another job transition. Through no fault of his own, his company was sold to a major competitor. Many positions, including his own, went "poof." At 55 years of age, how likely will he be to find another high-paying position in his prime location? (He doesn't want to move from California and I don't blame him.)
Yet with one small contract project under way and a few nibbles on other ones, he's closer to making the transition to independent professional than ever before. Imagine, at 55, making the same or even more money, without a commute, with the freedom to schedule your life as you want, once you get established. And as a self-employed professional there's one more thing he could look forward to... the ability to "ease back" gradually into retirment when he feels like it. Work hard for a few months... earn some dough... take a month off to relax or travel. Start on a new project after that. Doesn't that sound like a more sane way to live and work at that age?
Until next time...
