KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Embrace Reinvention at Any Age: It's never too late to start a new business or pursue a passion. Many individuals over 50 are successfully launching ventures, demonstrating that life experiences can be leveraged for entrepreneurial success.
  • Importance of Mindset: A significant barrier for many aspiring entrepreneurs is their mindset. Overcoming self-doubt and limiting beliefs is crucial for success, and having a supportive mentor can help individuals recognise their potential.
  • Value of Networking: Building connections through networking is essential for both solo entrepreneurs and corporate professionals. Engaging in face-to-face networking can lead to valuable relationships and opportunities, while online groups can provide support and resources.
  • Tailored Support and Training: Offering personalised coaching and training can help individuals and businesses identify gaps and develop strategies for improvement. This approach fosters confidence and encourages clients to take actionable steps toward their goals.


    • BEST MOMENTS
    Debbie Nolan: "I think that there's more opportunity as people get older; they limit themselves, and I think that's something they shouldn't do."

    Debbie Nolan: "It's about building those relationships. It's a two-way learning, isn't it?"

    Debbie Nolan: "I would rather say, you know, I'm not the right person. You don't get the feeling that they're going to be the person that you want to work with."

    Debbie Nolan: "When you're working for yourself, you're working for you. You can direct it in whichever way you want to."
