Waiting for the perfect time to start? The Rise Of The 'Accidental' Entrepreneur


Launch ant test your ideas.  It won't be a straight line but you'll be glad you launched this journey.  A piece from Forbes puts this in context...

 "A third of business owners never planned on starting their own company. And in spite of the challenges they faced, from raising finance and finding customers to managing with little personal income, only 1% regret their decision, while 12% wish they’d started their business sooner. Ninety per cent say they are happier than when they were employed."
Put a toe in the water.  Learn something new.  Take a small chance. 

 It's not hard.  It's just new.

New podcast interview - Humanitarian Entrepreneur

Image
I had a great conversation recently with Tiffany Moore at The Humanitarian Entrepreneur podcast. Among other things, we focused on opportunities for older entrepreneurs (3:27), what are the biggest myths that entrepreneurs face in the second half of their lives (5:04), the Center for Ageless Entrepreneurs, and the importance of teams. (12:18) Among my favorite takeaways was this: "We work in teams now and those with the best teams win. The idea is ot get yourself armored up so you can protect yourself and your family as you run your business. Then get into a team. That's why we're building these networks." - Rick (11:20) Thanks Tiffany for a great conversation!

Our Ageless Startup

Hi. The evolution of ideas surrounding work life in the second half of life has been significant. I started writing my blog - Sustainable Work - in 2005. From that start I wrote most of the book Ageless Startup in 2018-19. Ageless Startup was published by Entrepreneur Press in 2020 - in the same month the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in the U.S. For those of us working in or building one-person enterprises, the economic turbulance of the past few years supports our position. I'm going to use the next batch of posts to capture individual reviews and interviews that I want to be able to reference later. Thanks for following along.
