Starting my first business at 51https://www.foffit.co
Great to find a place to share thoughts with a 50+ female group. Starting my first business at 50 and doing it solo for now until I get traction. Good parts of being post 50...more confident, time and $ to do things on my own. Bad things about post 50, less of a peer networking group to relate to. Most networking groups I go to, I am about 15-20 years older and just feel a little out of touch :-)

I, too, am 50+ and started my own pediatric sleep training business (www.slumberlandsolutions.com) a couple of years ago. I am finding the same challenges as you in regard to networking and getting referrals, since my target audience is 25-40 year olds. Curious as to how others overcome these challenges and reach the younger audiences.
