Hey there, savvy content creators! If you find yourself in your fabulous 40s and contemplating the exciting world of online business, you’re in for a treat. As someone with over 20 years of professional experience, I get where you are, and I’m here to share some golden nuggets of wisdom to guide you on this exhilarating journey. Let’s dive into it: starting an online business in your 40s!

1. Hone Your Skills, Build Your Network, and Clarify Your Vision

One of the perks of launching an online business in your 40s is the treasure trove of skills you’ve amassed over the years. You’ve weathered personal and professional storms, climbed corporate mountains, and gathered a wealth of knowledge. Now, it’s time to leverage that expertise of yours.

Having spent two decades in the corporate jungle, I’ve honed my marketing prowess, built a network of influencers, and gained a crystal-clear vision of what I want to achieve with my online business.

What You Can Do:

• Share how your personal and professional experiences have sharpened your skills.
• Mention the valuable lessons and skills you’ve made and can pass along.
• Emphasize the clarity you now have regarding your business goals.

2. Relatability is Your Secret Weapon

Guess what? Being in your 40s makes you easily relatable to others on a similar journey. Your experiences become stories that resonate, creating a connection that goes beyond age.

Navigating the challenges of starting an online business in my 40s, I’ve realized that the more I share my journey, the more others perk up and listen. There’s a special magic in knowing someone gets where you are.

What You Can Do:

• Highlight the relatable aspects of your journey.
• Share personal anecdotes that others can identify with.
• Speak on a human level to build a loyal audience of friends.

3. Time Management Will Be Your Superpower

Let’s address the elephant in the room: time management. Balancing a full-time job, personal responsibilities, and creating content requires superhero-level organization. But fear not – it’s a skill you already possess.

In the hustle of a 9-to-5 job, personal commitments, and content creation, time management became my superpower. Scheduling content creation sessions, prioritizing tasks, and sticking to a routine became my keys to success.

What You Can Do:

• Adhere to effective time management.
• Use tools like Google Calendar, Asana or Trello.
• Remain consistent when creating content! I can’t stress enough how important this and challenging it will be to do … and yet, it is doable!

4. Embrace Personal Development

Don’t underestimate the power of personal development, especially in your 40s. Embrace the opportunity to grow personally and professionally.

Turning 40 was my cue to dive into personal development. From public speaking opportunities to practicing in front of the mirror, I embraced the challenge of being the face of my brand.

What You Can Do:

• Dive into self-help books, podcasts, or courses.
• Lean into becoming the face of your brand.
• Take baby steps towards becoming more comfortable on camera.
