What if midlife was the perfect time to start a business?
In this episode of She Means Profit, I explore why more and more Gen X women are stepping into the world of entrepreneurship. If you’re a woman in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, this episode is for you. We’re talking about reinventing yourself, claiming control over your financial future, and finding personal fulfillment in ways that a corporate job often can’t provide.
This topic is especially close to my heart. Recently, my hairstylist, a young woman in her 20s, took a leap and opened her own salon. Watching her take charge of her financial future reminded me of the power and possibility that comes with business ownership. And if she can do it, so can you! Age shouldn’t limit us; instead, our years of experience give us an edge.
Starting a business is about more than financial freedom—it’s about creating a legacy, pursuing your passion, and breaking through those glass ceilings. In this episode, I’ll dive into why business ownership can be a powerful path to wealth-building and how it’s helping women take control of their futures. So if you’ve been wondering if now’s the time to start something of your own, this might just be the sign you’ve been waiting for.
