Estelle H. Rauch, LSCW, CGP, a Featured Coumnist with Blog title...

The National Networker prepares you for Managing Your Career at http://ping.fm/pVUUy

“Recently out-of-work professionals over forty-five have found themselves under exceptional stress. They have typically been high performers and spent accordingly. They have families to support, and often high mortgages and other financial commitments eating into savings. The latest AARP magazine reports this group, finding jobs very hard to get, are increasingly venturing into the self-employment world, which we all know poses its own hazards.”

Ms. Rauch gives our readers some candid and extremely helpful insight into the transition from dead corporate careers to the world of the entrepreneur – the group of innovators and risk takers who have historically been young, aggressive and unattached. These new entrepreneurs are making this transition out of necessity, frustration and out of a need to take some direct control back over their own lives. The age of the average entrepreneur is rapidly increasing. These “converts” face many considerations and difficulties in making this transition.


Ms. Rauch has written an article that everyone considering making this transition MUST read. It is highly honest, highly instructive, and (with the passage of time and the steepening unemployment situation in the United States and Overseas), an absolute survival blueprint.

Read the article at http://ping.fm/iaUBC and post your feelings about this rapidly-growing demographic and economic phenomenon right here on this very forum. We are especially interested if you have first-hand stories about the challenges which you have had to face and the means through which you have overcome these potential problems. If you’d like to offer some of your own services, blogsites or website resources to TNNW readers, as well, you may feel free to post your responses on http://ping.fm/0kAWP

Thank you for your consideration, and for your input. The more responses, the better. Too Many members of the US labor force are in this situation but have chosen to remain silent about it. Let’s help each other deal with the reality of this situation. Please weigh in.

The Results of TNNW Survey # 4 Are Published

The original survey question was highly qualitative, but the results were very telling. The survey question:

“Which five top online social/business networks (please number them in order of effectiveness) have afforded you the most value/results?”

The responses, analysis and implications can be found by clicking on the following link:

http://thenationalnetworker.blogspot.com/2009/11/blue-thing-1-tnnw-surveys-analyses-and_24.html

Just a sampling of the findings:

1. The top two social media were Facebook and Linked In, with Twitter a close third.

2. In the vast majority of cases (> 85%), an individual who choose Linked In as his or her first choice choose Facebook as his or her second choice, and vice versa.

3. The individuals preferring Linked In generally chose it thematically because of the businesslike and focused nature of the platform. High signal-to-noise ratio.

4. The individuals preferring Facebook generally chose it thematically because of the focused nature of the platform, and its relationship -friendly (multimedia) and comprehensive, communicative nature. It is perceived as a mixed business and social medium, each of which aspects is perceived to enhance the other.

Terri Benincasa, Featured TNNW Columnist, talks about Boomers ? the wealthiest sector of the consumer marketplace. Your comments, please.Blog title...

Boomers (Baby Boomers, as opposed to the nuclear submarines in Tom Clancy Novels) are inarguably the wealthiest, best educated consumer market sector.

They are a growing percentage of the US population, and their influence, lobbying strength, political and corporate positioning, adaptability and consumer culture makes them a terrific target for your product or service – if you are prepared.

Terri talks about what this very special clientele wants…what they look for…and how to gain access to them in her article “Tips For Marketing to the Spending Generation,” at http://ping.fm/Ec3Yq . Just as importantly, she dispels some pop-culture myths about the limitations and conservative nature of the Boomers. They are flexible, willing to pay for better quality and service, and surprisingly artful at transitioning socially and in their careers.

If you’d like to comment on the article, you can either post your comment right here, or at http://ping.fm/zrb7a In fact, you can do both.

TNNW would like your input on the article, AND we would like to know if you market to Boomers. If you do, what are the most significant “do’s and don’t’s”
