Have you ever hit a certain age and realised the corporate ladder is suddenly being pulled out of reach? What if stepping out of the traditional workforce and starting your own business is not a step backwards, but the ultimate pivot for your professional future?
For many women over 50, the traditional job market presents harsh realities. Severe ageism means finding a new senior role can take up to 18 months and often comes with a significant salary cut. Rather than accepting these limitations, many are redefining what career progression for women looks like by launching their own enterprises. Surprisingly, 76% of female business owners are over the age of 45, yet they remain vastly underrepresented in the media and receive a shockingly low percentage of venture capital funding.
In this episode, visibility coach and She’s The Boss founder Jules Brooke sheds light on the realities of being a female founder later in life. Jules discusses why women over 50 are starting businesses driven by legacy and impact rather than just profit, and why many intend to keep working well into their seventies. We explore the hidden barriers to business growth, such as imposter syndrome and a lack of access to funding, and how the traditional path of career progression for women can be reimagined through strategic partnerships and global networking.
π§ Press play now to discover how to navigate ageism and take charge of your professional trajectory.
