| business for senior citizens: Start Your Own Senior Transportation Business Craig Wallin, 2020-01-26 Discover how you can earn $35 to $60 an hour driving seniors to medical appointments. This fast-growing service business is needed every day in every town and you can get started on a shoestring. One in five seniors does not drive and many of those may be forced to stay home due to lack of transportation and miss a medical appointment or be unable to shop for groceries. A private senior transportation service helps those seniors get around easily.In addition, the federal government now requires that state medicaid programs cover the cost of transportation to medical appointments. This has created even more opportunities for local senior transportation businesses.A senior transportation can be started with very little money - if you have a reliable car and a cellphone, you're almost there. The rewards are great - not just in dollars and cents - but in helping seniors live better lives by helping them enjoy their independence as long as possible. That's priceless.What is an N.E.M.T. vehicle? Unlike some specialized medical transportation vehicles - like an ambulance - a basic senior ride service does not require a special vehicle to transport seniors. There are far more seniors who are able to walk and just need a ride on a regular basis. NEMT is short for non-emergency medical transport. The name means exactly that - unlike an ambulance, your vehicle, whether a car, SUV or minivan, is an NEMT vehicle if you are taking passengers to and from medical appointments. You won't need to buy an expensive new van or specialized equipment, because you can focus on where there is a steady demand - transporting seniors who are able to walk. ( The medical term is ambulatory)The opportunities are wide open in this fast-growing field, and so is the potential for an above-average income that's recession-proof. At current rates, a six-figure income is not uncommon for full-time drivers.If you've always wanted to be your own boss, running a business that makes a positive difference in people's lives every day, and are a caring person, take the first step by reading my step-by-step guide. The advice you'll find in the book will give you a head start, reduce risk, and cut startup costs.

| business for senior citizens: Start Your Own Home Watch Business Craig Wallin, 2020-01-04 The senior population is growing fast - today one out of six Americans is over 65. That's 52 million seniors! Many of these seniors can afford (and want) second homes, so the number of second homes has grown dramatically in the last 2 decades. In addition to prosperous seniors, the number of highly paid professionals has also grown in recent years, and a second home is high on their wish list as well.As the number of second homes has grown, so has the need for someone to look after both the primary and second home while the owners are away. And because home prices have increased so much, they are a major investment that requires paid professional care to prevent and control damage and risks from everything from natural disasters to a leaky faucet.Today, almost all home insurance companies require regular home checks by a pro if a home is to be unoccupied for extended periods of time. According to industry insiders, home watch services have now become a multi-billion dollar industry, with steady growth and great prospects for the future, as it's an essential, recession-proof service that's needed every year regardless of whether the economy is booming or not.This growing demand has created a golden opportunity for those who can provide security and peace of mind for homeowners who are away from their homes.It's important to note that home watch services are needed in all communities, not just in vacation or sunbelt areas. For example, when a snowbird homeowner leaves their primary residence in the fall to spend a few months in the sunbelt, a skilled home watch pro is needed to look after their home during the winter months to prevent problems, just after another home watch pro looks after the sunbelt home during the summer months when the owner has returned to their northern home.A home watch business can keep you as busy as you wish, whether you live in a small community or a large city. It requires no formal education or expensive training, just common sense, a can-do attitude, organizational skills and honesty. Plus, a home watch business can be started with very little money - as little as a few hundred dollars. If you have a car and a cellphone, you're almost there.A home watch business offers you: - Flexible hours.- Be your own boss.- A recession proof business. - Start on a shoestring.In this book, you'll discover: - How to get started with just a few hundred dollars. - How to price your services.- How to get a steady stream of new customers.- How to boost your profits with add-on services. - How to get free advertising.- The tax deduction that can pay for your new vehicle |

| business for senior citizens: An American Sickness Elisabeth Rosenthal, 2017-04-11 A New York Times bestseller/Washington Post Notable Book of 2017/NPR Best Books of 2017/Wall Street Journal Best Books of 2017 This book will serve as the definitive guide to the past and future of health care in America.”—Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene At a moment of drastic political upheaval, An American Sickness is a shocking investigation into our dysfunctional healthcare system - and offers practical solutions to its myriad problems. In these troubled times, perhaps no institution has unraveled more quickly and more completely than American medicine. In only a few decades, the medical system has been overrun by organizations seeking to exploit for profit the trust that vulnerable and sick Americans place in their healthcare. Our politicians have proven themselves either unwilling or incapable of reining in the increasingly outrageous costs faced by patients, and market-based solutions only seem to funnel larger and larger sums of our money into the hands of corporations. Impossibly high insurance premiums and inexplicably large bills have become facts of life; fatalism has set in. Very quickly Americans have been made to accept paying more for less. How did things get so bad so fast? Breaking down this monolithic business into the individual industries—the hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and drug manufacturers—that together constitute our healthcare system, Rosenthal exposes the recent evolution of American medicine as never before. How did healthcare, the caring endeavor, become healthcare, the highly profitable industry? Hospital systems, which are managed by business executives, behave like predatory lenders, hounding patients and seizing their homes. Research charities are in bed with big pharmaceutical companies, which surreptitiously profit from the donations made by working people. Patients receive bills in code, from entrepreneurial doctors they never even saw. The system is in tatters, but we can fight back. Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal doesn't just explain the symptoms, she diagnoses and treats the disease itself. In clear and practical terms, she spells out exactly how to decode medical doublespeak, avoid the pitfalls of the pharmaceuticals racket, and get the care you and your family deserve. She takes you inside the doctor-patient relationship and to hospital C-suites, explaining step-by-step the workings of a system badly lacking transparency. This is about what we can do, as individual patients, both to navigate the maze that is American healthcare and also to demand far-reaching reform. An American Sickness is the frontline defense against a healthcare system that no longer has our well-being at heart. |

The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better.

| business for senior citizens: Women in Business Mirjana Radovic Markovic, 2010-01-31 In recent years, a record number of women have been breaking out of corporate life and embracing entrepreneurial careers partly as a redress to the discriminations they experience in paid employments. Female entrepreneurship is emerging as a potent force as more women emerge as business owners even in economic sectors that were previously thought to be the preserve of men.Women in Business: Theory, Practice and Flexible Approaches is a practical book that sets out to provide support and practical planning tools to guide both established and aspiring female entrepreneurs. These include checklists and tests, which could make the decision-making processes easier because self-employment and entrepreneurial activities are decisions that cannot be taken lightly.Women entrepreneurs are seen to be more realistic about their commercial prodigies and often make attempts to develop them within a family environment, while men gravitate more towards developing business hierarchies with defined rules and working business procedures. A number of theories, based on feminist analyses of the same, are also explored.The recognition of the capacity of women entrepreneurs in our global community is no longer a matter of debate, but a realisation that female entrepreneurship is now forming one of the major factors contributing to the development of many countries, and not just countries in transition. |

| business for senior citizens: Business Adventures John Brooks, 2015-05-14 'The best business book I've ever read.' Bill Gates, Wall Street Journal 'The Michael Lewis of his day.' New York Times What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety. These notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened. Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks's insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history really does repeat itself. This business classic written by longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks is an insightful and engaging look into corporate and financial life in America. |
