Second Carreer

Tom was in his early 50's, retired and started a second career. However, he just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day, 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, real sharp, so the Boss was in a quandary about how to deal with it.

Finally, one day he called him into the office for a talk. `Tom, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job, but you're being late so often is quite bothersome.'

"Yes, I know Boss, and I am working on it."

"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear. It's odd though, you're coming in late. I know you're retired from the Air Force.

What did they say if you came in late there?"

"They said, "Good morning, General."

There are a variety of small business resources available that have developed specifically to help persons start and operate small business at a later stage in life. Having a second career means that the person starting the business has had a previous career and is now changing course, or simply going into business on their own doing what they did someone else previously. Many of these entrepreneurs are senior in age.
Although starting a business after age 60 is nothing new – Harlan “Colonel” Sanders took an old family recipe for fried chicken and a $100 Social Security check and turned it into a multimillion dollar fast food business at the age of 65 – it hasn’t been the norm. it is, however gaining popularity.

Thank you for your post. Interesting information.
