New podcast interview - Entrepreneurs Over 40

I enjoyed a recent conversation with Greg Mills on his podcast 'Entrepreneurs Over 40'.

Entrepreneurs Over 40 features inspiring stories by Entrepreneurs talking about the businesses that they created and the Side Hustles that they launched. In it we cover their motivation, the tools and tactics that they used to develop their business as well as their best and worst of days.

These were some of the takeaways from our conversation:

• The majority of startups are done by people 45 and older.
• One of the biggest impediments to entrepreneurship is not knowing an entrepreneur to model after or learn from.
• In school we were taught that it was scary to start your own business. Today it is much scarier not to.
• There has never been a better time to start a one person business than right now...It does take a while to build up your networks of fellow experts so get in the game now.
• There is room to advise people in just about any subject.

Thanks for the great conversation Greg!

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.
