Becoming an Entrepreneur in Your 50’s

Have you ever dreamed about starting your own business, but you tell yourself you’re too old, it's too late or you don’t have what it takes. Sound familiar?    In this episode, I chat with Colleen Kochannek who is the creator of the Scrappy Frontier, a community built specifically to support women over 50 who are starting businesses. We talk about how to overcome the limiting beliefs, Self-trust and why we are afraid to dream big.  Colleen also shares the #1 reason that holds midlife women back from starting their businesses along with '3 old school skills’ that give women over 50 a massive advantage in business (click here for the link to the blog post we referred to).   This is a fun conversation that will give you a whole new appreciation of the power of women over 50 to start and run successful businesses.   Colleen Kochannek started her first online business after getting laid off from a near 3-decade long corporate career when she was almost 50.   The experience of having her own business was more incredible than she could have imagined, changing her life forever.   After ‘figuring out’ the online entrepreneurship game Colleen launched her second business - The Scrappy Frontier -  where she mentors other women from the typewriter generation to become successful first-time laptop entrepreneurs.   Colleen states, "I believe every woman over 50 should have the opportunity to start her own online business so that she can write an amazing future for the next half of her life.”   Her website is www.scrappyfrontier.com
