Hi All, Preliminary findings from the EONS Virtual Business and Career Survey are available now on the Building a Virtual Company page (at top under EXPERT). They reveal both boomer needs and spending power. The tool is still live and urgently needs more input so we can may hay out there! Remember, we are in the midst of a hotly contested presidential race. The candidates mention health care, but haven't focused much on that of late. We need to get their focus BACK on this issue and many others that affect our lives now and in retirement. Of particular concern, I believe, is career retraining. Another need, which I'm trying to fill on EONS along with Wendy Spiegel (career coach on EONS) is to provide the skills needed to run a small entrepreneurial operation, or build a large business if you like. But right now government programs like SCORE and the small business development centers are woefully funded. Don't get me started on the data issue and the U.S. Census. This survey provides the sorts of question about the virtual work place and boomer retirement needs that the census does not ask, nor does the SBA. That means we are not being counted and DO NOT COUNT in the eyes of the government. So, tell everyone you know to take this survey. The tool still lives on the Building a Virtual Company page. But EONS may well take it down, so hustle over and click through ASAP. All findings are in aggregate so no one knows who you are. Also, I've asked the HT board to post the survey tool on this site to collect data. That's their call, but hope they do! Happy New Year! Amy Zuckerman Hidden-Tech founder best,
