A link to the stories you need to hear

If you are over 50 and simply not ready to retire, you may be asking yourself what you have that makes you special. You’ve been through so much life, so what can you bring to the table now?

Quite frankly, there’s one simple answer: experience. You’ve got it in abundance.

Whether it be dealing with people, handling tough decisions, managing family life or relationships, or figuring out the intricacies of making a business work, you’ve done it all!

The fact is, all of this directly relates to starting a business over 50, especially if you are considering franchising, which comes with inherent benefits other business ventures can’t offer.

You know what it takes to run a business well because you’ve seen it done time and time again, whether it be through the work of others or corporate or business work you’ve done in the past.

Understanding the frustrations of working for someone else for all these years has uniquely prepared you to finally work for yourself; to embark on a brave new career doing something you love and making a lot of money doing it.

Take a women named Donata as an example. In a blog post she wrote in 2014, she clearly states that she wanted to hear from people over 50, in essence “those that have made it through planning their way through the difficulties and made it to the other side – a fulfilling transformed life (at least as it relates to profession).”

That could be our story. Are you ready?
