This is so good! I didn’t know that the colonel didn’t develop a franchise until he was 65. I also heard that David Ogilvy (Ogilvy and Mather) was a complete failure until he got a broke into advertising at 38.
Personally, I feel that I am just now hitting my prime – not fame, but prime.

I am a testimony that it is never too late. At 40, I quit a twenty year career in public safety and went back to school full time. I was tired of working 12 hour shifts, holidays, and having nannies raise my child. The pivotal moment came when I was reprimanded for falling asleep on the job at 3 in the morning. I could feel my body physically ache from the long and inconsistent scheduled. I had an ephiany that what I was doing was pure madness. It was not how I wanted to live my life.

With the help of a coach ( You must get one!! You need someone that will help you overcome the naysayers – your family and friends that think you are crazy for even thinking of leaving an established job!) I summoned the courage to leave a good salary and security behind to start afresh. I completed my degree and and through serendipitous events, landed a dream job. i I travel the world and have been to every continent except Antiartica. How good is that?? I rose through the ranks quickly due to my past experiences I am earning more now than I ever could have in my old position. Life is so much better than where I was before – it just takes a leap of faith!

I hope I can inspire others Life is fleeting and we are meant to enjoy it and relish it.
