Here’s why it’s never too late to kickstart your side hustle and build your dream life.

I hear way too many of my older Digital Course Academy students worry that they're too late to the game, are discouraged by their age, or think they're too far behind to ever catch up. 

Well, here's the truth, my sweet friend – age is just a number, and you're never too old to start! In fact, some of the most successful entrepreneurs start a little later because, let's face it, life experience is a total game-changer. 

Take it from me – on my 47th birthday, I woke up feeling so lucky and appreciative of my maturity, the wisdom I've gained, and my capacity to care for myself and my business. As I get older, I'm also getting smarter, stronger, and I feel the best I have in years. 

So, if you're thinking of starting a new career, you're an empty nester, or looking for a new passion project in your retirement, I have some great news for you: you can make that leap today!  

In this episode, I dive into: 

4:30: Real life proof that age is just a number


9:38: How to avoid comparing yourself to younger generations 

13:33: Why you need to prioritize feeling your very best 


17:06: Reframing your negative thoughts as positive mantras and mottos 

20:18: The true value of an older voice in high level rooms 


Listen in and get ready to keep learning new things and facing new adventures, no matter how old you are!
