3 reasons your 40s are the perfect time to start your side business
When I was in my 20s, I was in such a hurry.
I thought I would be rich, famous, and working for myself by age 30, and anything less than that would be an abject failure.
As a sports journalist who would occasionally appear on TV and radio, I suppose I was somewhat locally famous by 30, but that wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.
And I was most certainly not rich or working for myself.
My 30s were pretty much sacrificed to the all-consuming little kid phase, so I hit 40 not really anywhere near where I wanted to be.
But now, as I approach my 42nd birthday, the stars have finally aligned.
I now regularly generate four figures per month, and I’m just getting warmed up.
In some ways, it’s disappointing that it took this long.
But in another way, I’ve come to realize it COULDN’T have happened until now.
I wasn’t ready, and my life wasn’t conducive to it.
Now? Now we’re cruising.
Let me walk you through the 3 reasons your 40s are the perfect age to start a side business.
