Hunter Leonard talks to @smallbusinessbanter about how and why he started www.silverandwise.com.au.
In the episode we cover;
- The ageism brick wall and the frustration of a job search
- The different ways Western and Eastern cultures value their elders
- Why it's time for mature aged workers to take control and how, even if they may not see it clearly, that they have value to add
- The need to improve self awareness to help identify and better promote your 'hidden' value and skills
- Why finding your purpose is so critical and how it can lead to being happier and healthier
- The upside of adopting a 'small business owner' mindset
- Research from the https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/age-discrimination which Hunter has analysed. In summary he says that major barriers start to appear for people in the 45 to 50 year age group, and worryingly even earlier for women
- How the gig economy and freelancing are outstanding opportunities to build an income around a lifestyle
- Where starting up or buying an existing business fits in to the 'self employment' picture
The weird and wonderful assumptions made about mature aged people - And I said, well, I do not really care what age they are, as long as they can do the job. And they're interested in being part of ours, our group.
