7 fantastic reasons for you

to start a business if you


are over the age of 45.
CONGRATULATIONS if you are over the age of 45 and want to be
an entrepreneur, statistically we are the most successful
business people and over 70% of new start ups succeed!
Here are 7 brilliant reasons why.

1. You are EXPERIENCED and have life skills. You can think
on Your feet and problem solve whether you have had to deal
with a burst pipe at home or because someone in your team at
work has let you down, you are able to react positively under
pressure.

2. You have CONFIDENCE. You know yourself and understand


your strengths and weaknesses which a fantastic advantage for
an entrepreneur.
3. You have brilliant TIME MANAGEMENT and don’t waste
time. All your adult life you have juggled work, home, family
life,
organised holidays, shopping, school runs and so much more.
The only way you have achieved a life balance is because you
have learnt good time management.

4. You already have an established NETWORK. Through your


past career, family and friends you will have a contact or
recommendation for every aspect of your business. You will
not need to spend weeks and weeks researching for the
people you will need because you already have the information
available to you.

SUCCESS
5. MONEY. You understand money, you know how to budget
you have been doing this all your adult life, understanding
your income vs your outgoings. It is a natural thought
process to you and something younger entrepreneurs do not
understand yet.

6. You are a brilliant COMMUNICATOR. You grew up speak-


ing to other people! You did not have your nose constantly
in your mobile phone because you didn’t have one! You know
how to speak to other people and clearly relate the message
you want to give. This will make you an easy choice for your
Ideal Client.
7. You don’t COMPARE. Younger budding entrepreneurs
spend hours looking at their potential competitors and
comparing themselves. This is such a waste of time and gives
a negative mindset. You have learnt there is no point in doing
that, you will stay focused, on your own path to success and
will not be distracted.

SUCCESS IS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND......EXCITING TIMES


AHEAD!.
Moira first became an entrepreneur at the age of 30. Her first busi-
ness was in the leisure industry for blue chip clients like Scottish &
Newcastle, Whitbread and Weatherspoons.

Moira has always had a passion for animals, in particular dogs and in her
mid 40’s her and her partner, Steve, also purchased a large quarantine
kennels in the Midlands where they lived for 10 years.
After years of driving hundreds of miles every week to projects that
were based in the 4 corners of the country and the change in the
quarantine laws in the UK, Moira decided it was time for change and sold
both companies and moved to Spain. It was in Spain at the age of 51 that
she found her new passion of organising destination weddings and set up
a new business Perfect Spanish Weddings.

Perfect Spanish Weddings has grown and evolved for the past 10 years
and is one of the most established wedding companies in Southern Spain.
Moira was constantly asked for her advice and guidance by other
entrepreneurs wanting to start out due to her experience and
renowned success.

This led to a new and burning desire to help other women in business,
particularly ladies over the age of 45 and it is with this in mind she
started the Over 45’s Business Lounge for Ladies where she is now a
business coach and mentor.
