You can’t escape time, but you can choose to embrace it as an asset and start your own business. Age is one of the most common obstacles for 50+ people when circumstances will force you to start your own business or go for a “traditional” retirement. The intention of this article is to give you a toolbox to successfully start your own business. It doesn’t matter your age. And it’s valid for any background as long as you are willing to commit yourself. Let’s face the traditional pattern. A 50+ (or older) individual views the retirement as something coming closer. A young career hungry university student doesn’t even think about retirement.We baby boomers are connecting to a particular path with a relatively “secure and safe” chain. Most of the perceived goals we achieve one by one. It’s a kind of cycle where every step has its given place. Every model, whatever it is for, most have a timeline, and if you view life as a cycle, the age is the most natural “timeline” to use. Without even being conscious of it, you’ll start using your age as something to measure achievements.

Or, the actor Johnny Depp who got engaged to actress Amber Heard back in 2014, with an age gap of 23 years, did age has a significant influence in making them a couple? Of course not! Ray Kroc, who made McDonald’s to a famous fast food chain in his early 50ths, was age an issue to start his project? Nop! What motivated Carol Sanders to start up Kentucky Fried Chicken at the age of 65? Well, at least the age didn’t hold him back. The magazine “Entrepreneur” has several articles about successful entrepreneurs who started over again at a mature age. So, why shouldn’t you be able to start your own business as well? With so many proven examples of 50+ people who successfully have made something significant of their lives, why shouldn’t you be able to start your life over again? In our society exist “rules” of what everything should look like, how a 70 years lady should dress, how a 65 years gentleman should behave but also how we expect the younger generation to act. When Paul McCartney or the Rolling Stones are on stage, do they act or do they dress as typical 70 years old men? Not at all! The most important part to change, and to start your own business, is to kill once and for all the dogma that age is a crucial variable. The biological aging that comes with your genetic heritage you can compensate to some extent with proper eating and drinking, as well as physical activities. The rest is just the age label you put on yourself. 1/5
