Silverpreneurs are the seasoned professionals with a previous career run, however, post-retirement or after mid-life, they choose to embark on their own entrepreneurial journey. Besides a greater chance of success, they also contribute to the economic development. Undoubtedly, ‘People can do wonders at any age’ would best describe silverpreneurship.
Re launch yourself at 55+. With advances in science our current life expectancy has increased greatly and now 60-70 is the new young. Most people after retirement just sit at home and do nothing. Why not use your experience and expertise to do something you have always dreamed of or help others achieve the success you have reached?
Business planning for silverpreneurs aims to encourage the participants to utilize their talent and do something constructive after retirement rather than wasting the huge potential they have. Starting a business involves taking calculated risks and older aged entrepreneurs are better equipped to consider downsides as well as upsides.
Why a Second Career?
There could be a myriad of reasons; the recent economic downturn, inflation and market crashes have made it difficult to survive on individual savings. Another reason might be the increased lifespans. Medical advancements have improved quality of life for seniors. To enjoy their post-retirement life, they may see a business opportunity to make their existence purposeful and fulfilled.
The silverpreneurs’ advantage is that they not only come with experience but also expertise in their chosen career. They also have detailed insights into the industrial dynamics and economic measures that younger entrepreneurs might not have. Additionally, they have a comparatively wider social and professional network. Technological advancements have also made a myriad of options available for silverpreneurs to start new businesses. For example, people are giving online tuitions, online tutorials, starting their own consultation businesses, and many more.
Alternatively, silverpreneurs can also choose to mentor in their respective areas. They can also choose to join as board members, partners or advisors. Having an experienced advisor or board member always reduces failure chances. Silverpreneurs can be divided into two distinct categories: first, those who have worked in the private sector, both local and MNCs, and second, those who have worked in the public sector, both civilian and the security forces.
The program helps participants to take advantage of the changing nature of business in today’s digital world and explore remote work options.
