- Make a list of your strengths & skills.
Unless you have a lot of money in the bank or a spouse with a great career, it’s important your personal switch a roo be successful. Now isn’t the time in your life to experiment. Your golden years are rapidly approaching. You need to plan the next steps, be focused, gain a mentor & set aside funds to manage your retirement.

Who do you know to help you succeed?
You may have a friend, family member, or former employer or network, willing to give you a chance in the business/career you desire. Assuming you’re at least 40, you’ve gotten to know a lot of people over the years. This is one of the advantages you have over the 20-something crowd. Leverage your resources & take action to bring about change.
Consider becoming an ENTREPRENEUR
This may be the only field that doesn’t care at all about your age. In the past, entrepreneurship required a brick & mortar store or office. That’s no longer the case. It’s easy to set up a business online at a minimal cost. Entrepreneurship is blind to your age & can be very exciting as well as lucrative.
Ensure your financial house is in order.
It can take a while to scale past your original 9-5 income. Do you need to downsize your lifestyle? Do you have enough savings to make the leap to a new career or to start a business? Is your partner on board?
SAVINGS | CUSHION | PLAN
