You Are Never Too Old to Start a Business

Who says you can’t start a business after retiring from your job? Who says you can’t start a business in your later years? The other morning in my inbox I received a great piece of information from the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). Yes, I receive AARP communications because they have a wealth of information for me and to share with you.

The email contained information on a short, 30-minute online course called, “Encore Entrepreneurs: An Introduction to Starting Your Own Business” which is sponsored by both AARP and the SBA. This course is designed for individuals planning to start a business after earlier career endeavors.

You can view the online course or download and print the text-based accessible version in PDF. Unfortunately, it is not available on all mobile devices, as the presentation is in Adobe Flash.

If you aren’t quite ready to just sit back, relax and enjoy your retirement, consider starting a business. It can even be a small and/or part time. Use at no cost to you, the SBA’s Small Business Learning Center to research and plan out your next new endeavor!

Good luck!
