The Ageless Startup
There has never been a better time to start your own business, but taking that leap of faith can seem like a daunting risk rather than an exciting new venture.
But here’s the truth: Your community needs you. The world needs you. You have time to make a difference, and you have the experience, resilience, and drive to make it.
It's not hard.
It's just new.

Create a business system that keeps you on track and
comfortable
Build your exit strategy into your launch
Tackle obstacles with an open mind
START SMALL
START SMART
START RIGHT NOW
