Changing Gears: Entrepreneurs

Yes, you can generate an income while crafting a life of independence and purpose, if you want to.
Globally, there is an emerging trend for people to start a business for the first time in later life. In NZ, 45% of these ‘entrepreneurs’, are over 50, and what’s more this trend has been steadily increasing since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us to learn about 33 awesome entrepreneurs, who at 50+, took charge of their destiny, brought their ideas to life, and created a stream of income. If they can do it, inspired by their experiences, so can you. In this workshop, using real examples from the book, we’ll discuss:
• Examples of why people start a business in the second half of life.
• The nature of their businesses, and how they went about them.
• Why mind-set matters.
• 6 of the prevailing fears all budding entrepreneurs face and learn to deal with.
• The major challenges they encountered, and lessons learned.
• Useful tips and aspirations for the future.
If you are wondering ‘What Next’, have a business idea, want to pursue your passion, fulfil a long-standing ambition, take responsibility for your own destiny, and create a stream of income in mid-life or beyond, this 90-minute workshop may prompt you explore the possibilities and take massive action.
