Retiring well isn’t about doing nothing. It’s about finally doing something that’s yours.
One year into retirement, Peter Mercier sat down with a calculator and got a shock: at his rate of spending, his savings would run out in seven years. He was 62, healthy, bored — and suddenly frightened.
So he started a small business. Then another. Today, at 69, Peter runs 17 businesses that operate on autopilot, and he considers those first frightening months the best thing that ever happened to him. His mission now is simple: help other retirees get there far faster than he did.
Your Retirement, Your Business walks you through 21 proven businesses across five categories — from consulting and tutoring to vending machines and vacation rentals — with real startup costs, realistic income numbers, time to first paycheck, and the risks nobody mentions. No hype. Just the honest playbook Peter wishes someone had handed him on his first bored Monday of retirement.
“I did the math one year into retirement and realized I’d be broke in seven. Starting a business didn’t just save my finances. It gave me my mornings back. I wrote this book so you can skip the fear and get straight to the good part.”
Peter Mercier
