How to Become an Entrepreneur Over 50?
First, realize you're never too old to start a business. In fact, the older you are the greater chance you will succeed and you won't be alone.
Paul Tasner became an entrepreneur at age 66 and succeeded. In this New Way Forward interview, he shares the how, the why, and the benefits of becoming an entrepreneur (at any age). He says it's been one of the greatest things in his life and he says he would not have appreciated it as much as he does if he had done this in his youth.
Paul is among the millions of "older" entrepreneurs who are starting up. Baby Boomers for example are launching twice the number of businesses than Millennials do and have a seven in ten chance of success far surpassing other age groups.
In the time of the pandemic, layoffs, the Great Resignation along with need and necessity (and ageism) are driving more and more people over 50 and older workers to become business owners.
Besides providing the income he still needed, starting a business with all of the challenges as well as the joys, has been one of the most fulfilling things he has ever done and he doubts he would have found it to be that big a deal if he had started a business when he was younger.
His granddaughter thinks he's cool because of it.
Paul's story can be an inspiration and validation for people over the age of 50 to start their own business as a way to provide an income, get around ageism in the job market as well as have a purpose and fulfillment.
