Transitioning From Employment to Entrepreneurship Later in Life

Everyone at some point in their life has either wanted to start a business or had an idea to improve an existing product or service. What the two have in common is they haven't done anything about it yet.

You aren't alone, but if you are serious about exploring or taking the steps, Wendy's presentation will provide you with information on what starting and running a business entails and what you bring to the business, assisting you with deciding if it is time to join others worldwide who have become part of the fastest-growing segment of entrepreneurship in the world - those over 50!

1 hour presentation + Q&A

Copies of Wendy's book, "WISER," will be available for purchase on the day of the presentation for $24.95, plus applicable taxes.

Wendy Mayhew

Speaker, Author, Advocate for the 50+ group of entrepreneurs by helping them overcome the struggles & challenges faced when starting their business.

Wendy has been an entrepreneur for over 40 years and has always focused on working with entrepreneurs. In 2016, she professionally produced a video series, Real World Entrepreneur Training, to assist people looking to start their businesses.

She strongly advocates for all government levels to realize that older entrepreneurs are viable business owners and should receive the same support and services as other entrepreneurs.
