The Wake-Up Call That Changes Everything
What if the very thing holding you back from starting a business-your age-is actually your greatest advantage? While Silicon Valley glorifies 20-something founders in hoodies, reality tells a different story. Colonel Sanders launched KFC at 62. Vera Wang entered fashion design at 40. Ray Kroc was 52 when he franchised McDonald's. The narrative that entrepreneurship belongs to the young isn't just wrong-it's costing people their dreams. By 40, you've accumulated something far more valuable than venture capital: wisdom, networks, emotional intelligence, and clarity about what truly matters. The corporate ladder you've been climbing? It's taught you lessons that can't be learned in a startup incubator. That persistent voice whispering about independence, about building something meaningful? It's not going away. The question isn't whether you're too old to start-it's whether you're ready to finally listen. Business success boils down to something deceptively simple: offering what enough people want at prices generating sustainable profit, while maintaining cash flow to keep operating. Yet most new businesses fail on these fundamentals because they ignore brutal truths nobody mentions.
