Ageless Startup has been a vital guidebook as I transition from paid employment into entrepreneurship.  I have been passionate about knitting and artisan yarns for years but was not able to express that passion throughout my professional life.  Now I am joining the ranks of ageless entrepreneurs as I bid farewell to my previous career and opening my dream – a yarn shop in a community I love to serve people who share my passion.  Rick Terrien’s book is a roadmap for giving yourself permission to explore entrepreneurship in the second half of life.  You will learn to develop a business model that fits your lifestyle and your goals, and step-by-step business practices to keep you on track.  Ageless Startup is an invaluable resource for making the transition into entrepreneurship later in life.  For those of us pursuing ‘next steps’,   I highly recommend Ageless Startup!

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! Link to the full podcast is here: PODCAST LINK Tiffany Moore is a Humanitarian Entrepreneur Coach helping activists looking to leverage their passion for change. Learn more HERE .

Our Ageless Startup

Image
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.
