You're at the point in your life where you can be free to pursue whatever interests you. I interviewed an editor of a prominent magazine who retired by the time he reached 50, and he decided to pursue what he loves best: pottery. Read his story, it just might inspire you:  http://www.womenhomebusiness.com/success/glenfiddich.htm\n\nIf you are looking to start a home business that you can do on a part-time basis, I recommend that you check out the following articles to give you an idea of your possible options:\n\n10 Weekend Home Businesses http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol67/weekend.htm\n\n25 Part time Business Ideas\nhttp://www.entrepreneur.com/article/0,4621,311229,00.html\n\nYou may also want to check out the following books as they contain more business ideas suitable for part-time work:\n\n- How to Become a Successful Weekend Entrepreneur: Secrets of Making an Extra $100 or More Each Week Using Your Spare Time http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/155958288X/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid\n- 101 Best Weekend Businesses http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1564142574/powerhomebizguid

Report him to the corporate office.  If he owns the business, then no you can't really do much of anything.  Just spread the word that he's awful to the employees and don't support his business.  Maybe he'll shut down.

Great question, I will do my best to answer this for you. As you know  depending on the sales system you may have to put money into advertising, whether on the net,phone or taking out an ad in your local paper or even be willing to get out and pound the pavment and recruit for you business. Usually to some degree the company will help you with this, but the benefit for the company is they are using your advertising dollars to grow and you are able to build a biz.\n\nNow for the "must" part, Cannot stress this enough,I know this is gonna sound strange but "work on your head", meaning feed your mind with positive, books CDs , motivational speakers,being carefull to not use negative words and thought prossess. Also it's good to exercise empathy and the art of internalizing what people say to you, it helps you better understand them and also they in turn will look to you as someone who has their best intrest at heart.\n\nWe have the greatest country on this planet ,but unfortunitly this country for the last hundred years has been only concearned with churning out "employees".Job security, pensions,and benifets is the new language of the broke. We have created a comfort zone of get up ,go to work and pay bills.This is the main reason people give up when they don't succeed in an industry like this . In my business we have a saying,'ROYLO". This stands for Rest of your life off". as is the name I use for Yahoo Answers.We also call it the burn, meaning that you go gang busters,ape crap nuts and give it a short intense burn and take 2-3  years to build your business and you will be able to take the rest of your life off, It's like getting a plane off the ground and it takes a lot to do that but once it's in the air all it takes is guiding it.\n\nA couple last things, This is very intresting and somthing I discovered a while back,there is one very simple and overlooked factor that stands between someone obtaining wealth or obtaining governmental assistance at retirement and that is giving yourself permision.So many people say "I'm stuck at this job and I have responsibilities and have to make the best of it." Give your self permision to transition out of a job if that is the case and give your self permision to win for you and your family.It is not writen on any ones birth certificate what they are "supposed" to be doing in life.  Also if you go at this like an employee you will get employee results. If you go at it as a business builder you will reap the rewards. See you at the top!!

i hear and feel your pain & frustration--work till 11pm is ok, yet if you are ten minutes late, someone, your boss or superior has a coronary !! not fair- what is the answer-- go into direct sales--pure commission or salary & commission override- that way you are paid for the effort you put out--you are paid on results and are your own boss- sort of- at least you are out of the office working- not in the office with all the politics and stuff !! i started out in life as an accountant, became a CPA & encountered the same problems with work hours and punctuality !! yrs later after moving to another city, i decided to become a life insurance salesman- life & health ins- stuff everyone needed- i paid my dues for a yr or two-learned the basics, plus, and then became an  Independent Insurance Broker for several different companies, and was completely on my own- had my own office, paid my own bills,and earned double or more commission on the same stuff- best products for my clients, best commissions for me--win/win for all !! and the best part, NO ONE TELLING ME WHAT TO DO, OR WHEN TO DO IT !!!!! you don't get there overnight, but it is worth the effort, to be your own person !!! you could probably do this as a mfg representative also, or by learning to sell a certain product or product line ?? life insurance is really a good business, helping people, and making a difference in their lives, and most people don't have enough, so the market is wide open !! i am now retired, loved doing this, after 23 yrs in life and health ins and annuities, and became a CFP, & LUTCF, & my CPA also..if i can be of further help to you- holler back at me- good luck to you !!!

i used to have 9-5 jobs in the advertising/public relations industry, so even if it is a 9-5 job, everyday is so different (because of the nature of the business) that it didn't feel like it was 9-5.\n\nmaybe you can explore a new job in a different field or industry.  if you don' tlike monotony try the media, events planning, tv or theater or concert work, etc.\n\nor maybe you need a total change of careers, too.  salespeople get to go around a lot and are not tied to a desk.\n\nhowever, if you don't want to necessarily leave your job, what you can do is explore your city after work.  i usually try to enroll in a workshop or go to a lecture or watch a play or attend a museum exhibit whenever i can.\n\ncheck out your local newspaper or if your city has one of those free newspapers that lists the events in your community, grab one and scan it for events that interest you.\n\nyou could try learning how to ballroom dance, take improv lessons from a theater group, go to musuem or art exhibit openings (free cheese and wine, hehehe), take a new course at a local community college, etc etc.\n\nyou get to meet new people this way and they can inspire you or expose you to new things that might interest you.\n\ngood luck.

Cool, if this your accountant or your boss, if you are in charge of marketing, cut all marketing expenditure, especially the working ones, before he know, sales drop and lead to company collapse.\n\nMake sure you have an exit plan before you do that. Go along with their strength, teach them a lesson that way.

You should hire a full time public relations business to get the word out about your part time public relations business.  \n\nI'm sure you can find a competent one in your area, who wouldn't mind competition from you (yea, right).  \n\nMaybe you should put a coupon in one of those penny-saver papers.

Two suggestions, and they may work together.\n\n1) Consider applying to small advertising companies instead of the big national firms.  The big ones usually get inundated with requests, and they may not fit their needs.  Small firms, especially if they are growing, are often in need of people.\n\n2) Offer to work for no pay.  If you absolutely need the experience and you can't find any other way, this might be your best bet.  Yes, it does sound drastic, but remember, once you've got experience, you can start looking for a better paying position.  It's always easier to find a job if you're already working in the industry.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Never quit your job until you have a new one lined up.  You should read a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad and get information on passive income.  That is income that eventually comes to you without any work on your part.  I am part of an MLM that provides me with passive income, email me at pinkcinnamon3@yahoo.com if you wanna sign up and try it out.  Its a nutritional supplement MLM that is absolutely amazing!

Officially he's a retiree. I've seen him recently giving a speech to a business meeting, that's primarily what he's doing jobwise these days. \nHe is known for his long list of charitable engagements, including being a member of the Board of Trustees of Howard University, and of the Board of Directors of the United Negro College Fund. He also serves on the Board of Governors of The Boys & Girls Clubs of America and is a member of the Advisory Board of the Children's Health Fund.

Hey Frank, I sure could use 500 thousand by the end of the month.  But, we both know that could be impossible.  I work full time and have two part time MLM businesses that I would love to take off and someday earn 500 thousand.  If you are interested in making your dreams come true.

well ..it depends on what you want ...\nfor 5-6usd/h you could get a freelancer with no promise.\nadvertising agencies charge you with 40-60usd/hour . but you can be sure that what comes out of there is good and filtered material with strategy and experience behind it all.\ni strongly advise that you go to an advertising agency .. not a big one like leo burnett or y&r, focus publicis, etc... get a small one \nfor example .. take leo burnett .. they charge you shitloads of cash .. have a lot of juniors in there (pay them almost nothing so that the small ones have a big name in their resume) and the seniors don`t take small projects as a food package (they usually to big budget 1-2mil usd and upwards).\nso .. mail a small advertising agency .. and ask them a quote/timing .. you will get good work ;)

Try looking on the internet for agents on Dateline around a year ago they had these older people on their talking how they was on fix income but was doing commercials. Their was this one man they was talking how he just was going from one commercial to the next and they had agents this may be why your having trouble getting intouch with someone i have worked for some entertainers and nobody can get close to them agents is your key. Get you photos done by professionals and dont sign anything untill a lawyer looks over it. Well good luck go after your dreams they never just come and knock on your door.*

Want ads, the local mall, fast food restaurants, ask your friends who have jobs.  That should be a good start.

Find a legitimate web-based business. As for me, Ebay didn't work because I didn't have a bunch of stuff I wanted to sell.  Plus, you need items people want to buy.  With that enterprise, you probably need to have money to make money.  A lot of people want the money, but don't want to work to get it.  I never found easy money in my 50+ years. There is no easy, legal, long-lasting income available on the internet unless you're willing to put in the work.  Think: delayed gratification and not instant satisfaction. I have been working for a while now on my own web-based company and I'm making some substantial additional income.  It's not to the point where I can quit work yet, but it grows every month because I put in the time and effort -- THE WORK.  Find and read a book by Richard Bach called START LATE, FINISH RICH.  That might help.  NOTHING WORTHWHILE EVER COMES EASY.
