So many have done it and have done it really well!
Ray Kroc was 52 when he started McDonald’s
Ariana Huffington was 55 when she launched The Huffington Post
Harland Sanders was 62 when he started KFC
In fact, 35% of businesses are started and run by people over 50 and 46 is the average age for an entrepreneur in the UK.
In a world that appears to value youth, older people think there age puts them at a disadvantage when searching for a job or starting a business but older people have the opportunity to make a huge contribution to soceity by starting their own enterprise.
In fact, due to a few factors, ‘olderpreneurs’ often have a higher success rate.
