Hey Maed,

Thanks for your sharing. I had a lot of friends thinking about starting a business after 50. I took the plunge and realized that my experience is invaluable as my partners kept telling me that my insights were spot-on. While there are challenges in a startup, I know that my chances of at least avoiding all the major upheavals that besieged younger startups are better.

I wrote the article to encourage some of my friends and I am glad many find it useful. Some friends are also asking me on tips to validate start-up ideas. Do you also have friends wanting to start a business but not sure if their business ideas will succeed?

I am in the midst of drafting a blog post meant to encourage one of my client-turn-business partners. Will likely publish it on Medium before the end of the month. I don’t like to rush a blog post without sufficient research and effort to ensure that it’ll be useful to readers.

I look forward to a continuous exchange of tips and ideas with you.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers

Phillip
