It’s never too late to start a business or catch a dream

The other day I stumbled upon an article about two people in their seventy's running 26 mile marathons last year. Judy Loy and John Fredrickson both started this sport late in life, John started when he turned fifty.

The aging entrepreneur— When your mind says GO! And your body says NO!

The aging entrepreneur keeps moving forward
Like I mentioned the other day, I have aged a bit since jumping into the world of being an entrepreneur. In fact, almost thirty years have whipped by me. Many things remain the same, but some things have changed. My entrepreneurial traits that remain:

  • I still fear a few things like: being struck by lightning, being hit by a flying baseball, hockey puck or golf ball and I still hope I never meet a snake.
  • I still have a strong sense of humor, love comedy and gravitate toward people who make me laugh.
  • I still believe personal responsibility is a big deal. And when people don’t take responsibility for their actions and blame others for their fate, that’s not a laughing matter, it’s a character flaw.
  • I still love my work, in fact so much that most of the time it doesn’t feel like work, but extremely satisfying play.

Saturday salute – It’s your time to shine!

Every Saturday I salute someone or a group that deserves a little extra attention for his or her good deeds, achievements, creative solutions, witty comments or meaningful acts of customer love. This week my hat goes off to the fall graduating class at American Intercontinental University and their families. American Intercontinental University is a global learning institution with campuses across the United States, in London England and an award-winning* Virtual Campus called AIU Online. I was the commencement speaker today addressing over 200 grads, 1300 + university professors, staff and friends and family at the graduation celebration in Chicago.

Hiscox small business insurance for entrepreneurs
This weekend is Labor Day. Many start the count down on Monday, seven days before the official day, as the long weekend nears. It's a day off, the banks are closed and your dinner menu will likely include beer and barbeque. Most don't have a clue to the significance of the original Federal Celebration, which stemmed from President Cleveland's reconciliation with labor unions after the deadly Pullman Strike of 1894, where a number of workers lost their lives.
