    Delivering flowers for a flower shop or delivering medications to people who can get out are PT jobs for a few people I know and they love it!

    I was a private live in caregiver for many years. I was a able to save so much money! There is such a need.
    One job I noticed and thought I might look into is a store merchandise stocker. I go into the stores and racks and racks that have come off the truck but no one to stock shelves. Sometimes the trucks come in once or twice a week.

    • @RetirementTransformed
      @RetirementTransformed  22 дня назад

      That's amazing! Caregiving is such meaningful work, and it's great you saved so much. Stocking shelves could definitely be a good option-flexible and always in demand!

    My one concern about dog walking as an older person is the fact we aren't as agile as we once were. I fear perhaps have a dog that pulls you alot when walking that I would be more prone to tripping or something. My own dog someone gets under my feet.

    Decided to learn bartending as a side gig at 54. Took an online course. Now comes the hard part: Getting my first job with no prior experience. Not that worried. I live in The Villages, which makes me almost a kid around here. 😃

    I'm a Realtor & it's not really a part-time career, BUT we always need assistants. So, look for a busy team or company & help with doing their Open Houses, or their day to day operations. You may decide you enjoy real estate & want to look for a new career path.

    • @RetirementTransformed

      I heard you need to have a RE license to be an assistant. Or maybe that’s just in my area…

    • @mtngrl5859
      @mtngrl5859 День назад

      @@Teal_Seal It depends on what you do. If I have an Open House for the public and if I have an unlicensed assistant they are limited on what they can say. They can give a flyer to a prospective Buyer, but they can't offer any real information about the home. They can place signs out, serve food or beverages at an OH, help clients with signing in to the Open House. If they are hosting without a licensed agent being present, they can take down information on questions that the prospective Buyer has & the agents can follow up. Personally, I want a licensed agent at all my OH, but I'm just answering your question.
      Usually when I list a home, I have extra keys at the office. So, an unlicensed assistant can access the home and make sure there are plenty of flyers at the home. They can also pick up business cards to see who has shown the home. They can make calls on behalf of the agent to get an update from other's agents re what their clients felt about the home. They can speak with lenders to be updated on the loan process.
      There are lots of admin roles in real estate, update the listing, doing promotional marketing on SM. Also meeting with inspectors at the property if repairs need to be made. Of course, one doesn't need to be licensed to do staging of the home. There are so many details in real estate.

    I just found you. I served my church, so far, for 9 years decorating for hospitality for a lg conference we host annually. Each year is a different theme, including coordinating serving dishes. I've been advised to start renting out my decor for other people's events. Mind you it's only decor. However I have purchased cookware and serve ware and table covers only for the serving table. I'm not planning on branching out into linens, tents and tables. It's only myself and I'm a 63 yr old widow looking to improve my widows income. Any tips are welcome.

    • @RetirementTransformed
      @RetirementTransformed  3 дня назад

      It sounds like you’ve built up some great experience with your church events! Renting out your decor could be a fantastic way to generate extra income. To get started, I’d recommend showcasing your decor and setup on social media or a simple website. You can also reach out to event planners in your area to let them know about your services. Word-of-mouth and local advertising can go a long way too. Best of luck as you start this new venture!

    Do you have any tips on finding clients and starting a RUclips channel?

    This wouldn’t work in the UK - you can’t choose your hours and you can’t get into freelancing based on skills, only qualifications, so no matter how skilled and talented you are you won’t get anywhere. Even working from home like baking is a big red tape nightmare to get complaint with the health and safety standards. There are a million and one things I’m great at but I’ve been trying to get a job for months since the company I worked for got sold.

It's easier if you can have it on on a tripod or at least resting one something so your hands are free. Try and make it at least 10 minutes. I think we will make a video on this in the near future, but there are lots of resources out there.

    There is going to be an enormous need for re- education help. Not sure what it will look like. But so much of the education system has been propaganda and lies, for those under 50, that as America is being reborn (and many other nations), educating people on truth will be needed. I am attending university in my late 40’s, early 50’s. I have been horrified at what is being taught. I have been in a blue state and a red state and the education is sadly very similar. I am often the only one who will question the crazy info being propagated. Many younger professors cannot get what I bring up because they are products of this purposeful system.

    • @RetirementTransformed
