Many people want to retire but the desire to stay connected to the working world (and their fear of boredom!), keeps them from doing so. A part-time lifestyle business that is flexible but also exercises the “creative” muscle can make the transition to “retirement” a colorful, satisfying one. A paint color consulting business like those offered in franchise by America’s Color Consultants is one such lifestyle business. The experience and interpersonal skills honed in the traditional business world transfer seamlessly to a new venture that is rewarding on several levels. The communication skills developed over years in any profession combined with a natural “eye for color” and design can lead to success as a paint color consultant.
The home-based business can start as a part-time, even just a weekend pursuit, but as the client base grows, it can become full-time, if desired. Flexibility and the lack of outside pressure are hallmarks of a lifestyle business. America’s Color Consultants franchisees include women who have become full-time paint color consultants, those who are retired and enjoy adding to their financial security, and those who plan to retire in the next 10 years and are building their base of customers on a part-time basis. Training and ongoing support by the franchise founders is provided to all franchisees.
