About the Book 

Have you ever told yourself that you're too old to start a new career? If so, you're not alone ...

According to the World Health Organization, half of the global population has a bad attitude about their own aging process.  If you can relate, be careful.   

Whether you think you're young or think you're old, you're right! 

 What I mean by that is your attitude about your own aging process can be a self-fulling prophecy. Older adults with a negative perception about their own aging process tend to have poorer mental and physical health, a lower quality of living and even a reduced average lifespan by up to 7.5 years! And here’s the good news – a positive attitude about your own aging process can extend your average lifespan by up to 7.5 years.

If you believe you’re too old to pursue your dream career in your second act, Janine Richard has a message for you in the title of her book You’re Never Too Old to Change Hats. Her book is a 30-day program to help you decide what work you will do in your second act that can bring you happiness and meaning. The book explores unpaid roles like board work, volunteering or caring for grandchildren as well as paid roles like coaching, consulting or contract work, to help light your pathway. You’ll also learn a simple but proven 3-phase model for smoothly transitioning into your next chapter and ultimately discovering your new identity.

Finally, Janine reminds you that regardless of whether you’re 50, 60, 70 or even 80 years old, you can always choose to feel young – inspiring hope that your best years are still to come.

I was in your shoes ...

that's why I wrote You're Never Too Old to Change Hats

Replace this with the story of me at the cocktail party.....I had no idea what I was doing. No business plan. No compelling ‘why’ or reason for starting a business. Heck, I didn’t even choose a business idea – it chose me. Someone asked me to do some corporate training, I said yes, and the rest is history. The funny thing is that I didn’t even like delivering corporate training. What was I thinking! Oh right – I wasn’t.

I'm sure I made every mistake in the book. And that's why I decided to write this book where I openly and candidly reveal the actual dumb mistakes I made in that first business and the lessons that I had to learn the hard way. I also share the most common mistakes that I've seen startups make ... after over two decades of coaching startups.

"A fool learns from his own mistakes.
A wise man learns from the mistakes of others."

By sharing these mistakes with you, I'm hoping you will avoid many of the traps, or at least recover more quickly when you fall into some of them. But mostly, i hope you dare to dream by first shifting your mindset and finding your motivation !
