Finding the entrepreneur over 60...

Hi Everyone, I'm new here and already seeing what a great place this is for meeting others!


This year I will be 68 (Crikey where do the years go) and my eldest grandchild will be turning 16... the years seem to fly by and suddenly there is so much of the world to see. I'm an overland adventurer having travelled far and wide with our fabulous overland truck that has been kitted out to tackle off the beaten track paths - and have been fortunate to have been to Namibia overlanding and camping in the wild (more on that another time) in some amazing places with hippos on the river banks, ellies, that came to out camp at night and being privileged to have seen and done so much. We've camped under the stars in the desert and met some amazing people on our journeys to swap stories with... I've always been an entrepreneur and my greatest love is working and coaching others to be able to work from home and create a side hustle.


I have now embarked on building an online business and would love to know if anyone else is doing this, and also to open up the minds of anyone who is perhaps drifting through life and looking for something to get stuck into (that will also bring in an income). Something new and exciting tapping into our passions. When we reach our 50's and 60's (plus) we have a wealth of wisdom and knowledge and there has never been a better time for people our age to begin a new journey for ourselves. Not only is it a breath of fresh air, but it gets our mind into gear, and a sense of purpose. What skills do you have that you could teach others? I work with people over the age of 40 but particularly keen to work with anyone who is looking for a new direction... Life is short, so let's run wildly and enjoy it to the full!
