Have you been dreaming about starting a company but don’t know how?
Start Your New Company, Get the Freedom You Have Always Dreamed Of
What if you could break free of the corporate rat race? How would your life be different if you owned your own business? Entrepreneurship is the ultimate mid-life career change.
Startup founder and former venture capitalist Rob Kornblum shows how starting a company in mid-life is not only achievable, but more likely to succeed. Through dozens of interviews with mid-life founders, Kornblum shows:
- How to discover great ideas for your new business
- Why great entrepreneurs don't just follow their passion (and what they do instead)
- How to market your products like the pros
- Why this is the best time ever to start a business
- How to find your ideal co-founders and team
- How to build a great company AND keep a normal family life
- Why the skills you already have increase your chances of success
- How mid-life entrepreneurs get their business funded
- Including BONUS Resources including a 90 Day Timeline, 1 Page Business Plan, Fundraising pitch template, and more.
If you have years of experience in business, have wanted to start your own business but never did, this is the book you need to get you over the hump.
None of the great startup books, and there are many, deal with the particular challenges that mid-life entrepreneurs have, but also the amazing skills and experiences that you bring to starting a new business.
In fact, the media really loves to celebrate the “college dropout” founders.
But did you know that the average age of successful technology company founders is 39?
- Have you been dreaming about starting a company but don’t know how?
- Do you struggle with your fears about the potential risks?
- Do you wonder how to start a new business when you have a mortgage and kids to put through college?
- Do you wonder if you have the right skills?
