Ageless Startup released!



Ageless Startup was officially released this week.

The writing began 15 years.  In a cheap hotel in Dubuque, Iowa.  The hotel was near a John Deere plant where I was installing one of our fluid treatment systems.

I had heard about blogs, but didn't know how to do it.  I wrote the first post out in my notebook at the hotel.  I saved that page for a long time.  It was all schmeered up with oil from the work and blood from busted knuckles.

It's a real thrill to see Ageless Startup emerge as a book!

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

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.
