"The secret of getting ahead is getting started" Mark Twain


Have you been feeling the need to break free from your existing job or career?  Have you always wanted to create something of your own?  Is there a bit of “If I don’t do it now, I never will?’ going on?


If so, you are not alone and you could be experiencing what is known as a “Midlife Awakening” - a realisation that life is too short and it's time to create a life based on your terms.


The prospect of starting a new business and all that it brings can be daunting, especially when you have never done it before. But “the secret of getting ahead is getting started” - it’s as simple as that!


The hardest part is taking that first step, and finding the courage to turn your dreams into reality. But once you do, an incredible transformation within you will begin to unfold.


Starting your own business isn't just about making money. It's about unleashing your creative spark, having agency and growing something that you can be proud of. 


Clearly the entrepreneurial journey can be a bumpy one. There will be ups and downs, triumphs and setbacks. But that’s what makes it so exciting and fulfilling! Embrace the challenges, learn from your mistakes, and keep going.


And best of all, as a midlifer, you have a secret weapon that our younger counterparts can only dream of – wisdom. You've lived, you've learned, and you've accumulated a wealth of experience that will serve you well in the business world. Trust your instincts, tap into your hard-earned knowledge, and let your passion guide you.


So, what are you waiting for?
