Entrepreneurs Who Started (Really) Late

Most people reach a certain age and think that they can’t do it (whatever it may be) anymore. I’m here to tell you that this is not the case. Yes, when you’re young and fresh, starting a new business or running a marathon can be a lot easier, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start a business and be successful when you’re over 60!

Are you sitting there today thinking, “man, I’d like to write a book,” or “It would be awesome if I could just open my going green store”? You’re right; it would be awesome. So why not go for it?

Colonel Sanders began building KFC at age 65!

Did you know that some of the most successful entrepreneurs didn’t start until they were past retirement age? Colonel Harland Sanders (Yes, KFC Colonel Sanders) didn’t venture into the world of entrepreneurship until he was 65. He used his first social security check to open his business! His business is still thriving today.

When I saw this, I thought, “Why to start businesses you can’t finish?” But really, who starts a business that they ever “finish”? Businesses are always passed down to family members or close friends, even other owners in a business, if anything ever happens to the owner. The business usually lives on for quite a while, even after the owner is long gone. So, why not start a business that you can’t finish? Everyone else does it!

My point is that you’re never too old (or young) to start accomplishing your dreams. Don’t let negative thinking be the barrier that keeps you from going after your goals. If you think you’re too old, then you probably are. I don’t mean this literally; as long as you think of a negative thought, that negative thought will run your life. If you think you’ll never do it, you never will. The only way to succeed in life is to know that you can. Never doubt yourself, no matter what the doubt may be. Positive thinking will be the flame that sees you through a tough night. I can guarantee that!

If you have a dream in life, go for it. You only get one life to try to make that dream come true, and getting to the top is half the fun! After all, life is a Journey, NOT a destination!


Thank you for reading and hope you have a good rest of the day!
