We find ourselves at the outset of a huge ‘Baby Boomer’ retirement rush and many of us worry about the quality of lifestyle we will be able to afford over the coming years. Especially, after years of hard work and in these economic times to face this uncertainty is very challenging. Often, it is now that we want to enjoy life to the fullest, but what choices do we really have other than to stay on the treadmill longer or start eating into our assets so we can afford a good lifestyle.

‘Baby Boomer’ and long time corporate woman, Cherry Sewell found herself in that boat too.

After the hard core corporate ‘dog-eat-dog’ game in photocopier and facsimile sales in the UK in the 80’s to an equally demanding corporate dynamic in South Africa’s office equipment sales world in the 90’s and more recently the demanding and high pressure world of the telecommunications game in Australia in the 21st century, Cherry has stood her ground in all this for over 25 years.

After her long career in the corporate world and faced with this dilemma Cherry decided that there had to be another way and started her own home based business, because she did not want to have to work the hard slog until she could afford to retire with a good level of lifestyle. Plus, she wanted to do a lot more travelling well before then anyway.

She had looked at MLM and home-based business opportunities and started with a health product multi-level marketing company first, only to find herself frustrated at the huge amount of energy this took alongside her already demanding corporate job – for very little return.

A friend then introduced her only two years ago to a personal development company that is very different to a MLM, did not require her to drag products around, attend weekly meetings, sell to family and friends or do flier runs before work, yet offered a much greater earning potential. And, since Cherry had done some personal development over the years, she went to have a closer look.

Only two years later, Cherry now runs an extremely successful personal development network marketing business from home, which takes her around the globe at least 4 times a year while stacking up her account with a multiple six figure income. Her business LiveLifeBoldly.com has allowed her to quit the corporate rat-race within just 3.5 months of starting her business and with a work load of just 25 – 30 hours per week (from home), why would she have not made the change from the 9-to-5 grind.

“Of course, it was challenging to leave the corporate herd and step out into ‘uncertainty’ but once I tasted the freedom and potential of ‘doing it for myself’, I could no longer look back and had to keep on striving forward”, explains Cherry.

With the personal development industry reaching over US$19 billion world-wide, Cherry now spends her time working with people from all walks of life across three continents giving her the personal rewards she never previously got. While she is earning a considerable income working part time from home, she keeps active while having plenty of time to enjoy life.

Her office is the veranda of a charming sea-side cottage in Byron Bay where she moved to almost 2 years ago from Sydney, unless she is having a ‘working holiday’ in the far north of Queensland’s rain forest or visits her stomping ground - the rugged landscape of South Africa.

Cherry now travels regularly attending major personal development events in exotic locations such as the Bahamas, Acapulco, Rome, Hawaii and Spain with a further trip planned visiting the US, UK and Asia later this year. Best of all, Cherry assists others (corporate or non-corporate survivors) to change their lives for the better as well – using much the same powerful tools that have allowed her to transform her corporate slog into a lifestyle to dreams for – while earning multiple times her old salary. She now has the best of both worlds – semi-retirement and the money to do what she loves, like travelling and spending time with her dog ‘Sapphire’.

Due to Cherry’s unwavering positive outlook and commitment to improving her life, she has gained the success she wanted and could start her travel-rich lifestyle well before her retirement. And, she has met plenty of other ‘Baby Boomers’ that have made the same choice and are living an awesome lifestyle, working part-time from home while earning a substantial income to fulfil their dreams with.

As they say, it is never too late to change - it’s up to you.

Small business statistics show that some 67% of small and micro businesses around Australia are operated from home and many are internet-based. With 60% of operators gaining a higher financial reward than when employed and 29% saying that they do ‘significantly better’ it is well worth considering a home-based or internet business – even later in life.

Cherry’s journey of transforming her life has been inspirational to many women and men alike and above all it gives her the greatest pleasure of assisting others to follow in her foot-steps.

Cherry has since been invited to co-author the compilation book ‘Living an Abundant Life’ (48 inspiring stories of creating positive change) alongside the likes of Neal Donald Walsh, Jack Canfield, Brian Tracey, Mark Victor Hansen and Dr Wayne Dyer among others.

Cherry is happy to give three copies of her book ‘Living an Abundant Life’ as a reader give-away.
