Just goes to show that the game is never over until you give up. And that’s true no matter what your age.

Namaste,

Robert, I was absolutely touched by your story! Best of luck to you. Did you apply to be one of AJC’s 7 millionaires?

@ Robert – An honest story from deep in the trenches; I have to admit that after 15 years of struggle … I was getting close to burnout … it was one of the reasons that I was keen to sell out of most of my businesses. The other was they offered so much damn money!

For most people there is mystery in starting a business; but once you’ve been there a few times (I’ve only done it 5 or 6 times … you, squillions!), the mystery disappears. Good Luck!

I started my first of 7 or 8 business over 44 years ago. In those days it was easy. Then came the day the European Union started meddling and everyone has to have a paper qualification to do almost anything.

About 15 years ago my businesses had become so stressful I hit burnout big time. It took 4 years to recover during which time I lost all my companies. 11 years later I’m still doing all I can to start again. What I did not know is that the long term effects of stress burnout do terrible things to self confidence and apparently plausability, imagination and thinking strategies.

At 64 I’m about tostart a new business project, I cannot recall how many have failed since burnout. What I do know is that what did not work was not really me, more the case of what others thought was good for me. Iility followed others advice because I had lost trust in my own ab

What I believe I am starting now touches something deep inside my own intuitive awareness, reality and authenticity. I have no business angel and no bank loan, just me hugely under financed and my own resources. It is back to those scary days of empty pockets, imagination, creativity, no expectations beyond staying focused, keeping my moral in good shape, getting through each day and stacking one little goal on top of the previous one and the hope that this time it works better than the umpteen previous times since I lost.

No age is no obstacle all it takes is imagination, will power, determination, being authentic and just keep on going.

@ Tap Water – Amazing! This is your very first day in ‘econ’ … I hope I was right about the ‘Colonel’, at least?

Believe it or not, my very first day in my very first econ class was a video on the life of the Colonel. He is an amazing example of what can be done with enough effort and determination.

“little bit inspired” but I don’t think I can do things like that… Cheers.
