These 5 Entrepreneurs Prove That Success Comes At Any Age
As a “seasoned citizen” myself I liked all of these pretty famous
examples. Believe me, there are hundreds if not thousands
more just like this not only in brick and mortar businesses but in
home based businesses too. Many are in my team and some
are my leaders! I am in two businesses. One is the e-commerce
powerhouse Dubli. If you’re interested in getting started in Dubli
click here and watch a short video. The other is iPas 2. This is a
step by step sales system to market the products of Empower
Network and have recently joined with Empower Network. Click
here for a short video and more information. It’s never too late to
start! My only question is, when will you start?
We live at a time when becoming successful requires you to be young and under 30. Don’t get me wrong, there is
nothing wrong in starting out early. But success as an entrepreneur doesn’t have to imply that you are in your 20s.
Actually you can become what you want to be at any age as certain examples have shown us in the past. Here are
some successful entrepreneurs that became successful in their different ventures way above the age of 30, and it
didn’t stop them from becoming famous and acknowledged for their innovative accomplishments.
Ray Kroc, McDonald’s
“The definition of salesmanship is the gentle art of letting the customer have it your way.”-Ray Kroc
During his teenage years Kroc took a job as Lily-Tulip Cup Co. His stint in the company saw him emerge as the
company’s top salesperson. However he went on to obtain exclusive marketing rights to a milkshake mixing machine
called the Multimixer. By the time he approached the age 50 sales of the milkshake device started to drop. There was
however one small restaurant that ordered eight machines. Kroc went out to discover what kind of restaurant would
need to churn out 40 milk shakes at a time. This was how he stumbled on McDonald’s a restaurant owned by Dick
and Mac McDonald. He bought McDonald’s at the age of 52 and turned it into the world’s biggest fast-food franchise.
Wally Blume, Denali Flavors
“The goal of our business is to fund the gospel.” – Wally Blume
Wally Blume had spent 20 years in the diary business before he decided to venture out and start his own business in
1995, Denali Flavors. By 2009 Denali Flavors was making 80 million dollars in revenue. What is interesting to know is
that Wally Blume was 57 years old when he decided to start his business and to make it a success.
Arianna Huffington, Huffington Post
“Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It’s the mastery of fear. It’s about getting up one more time than we fall
down.” ― Arianna Huffington
Arianna Huffington is the editor-in-chief of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Huffington Post. She is also the author of 14

2. books. She started the Huffington Post in 2005 at the age of 55. She was able to run the company successfully to the
point where she sold it to AOL for more than $300 million while still being retained as the editor-in-chief of the
organization.
Harland Sanders, Kentucky Fried Chicken
You got to like your work. You have got to like what you are doing, you have got to be doing something worthwhile so
you can like it – because it is worthwhile, that it makes a difference, don’t you see? – Colonel Sanders
Popularly known as Colonel Sanders and the face behind Kentucky Fried Chicken, started his career as a
restaurateur when he was 62. He had worked as a fireman, at gas stations and as an insurance sales man. Later
on, he found fulfillment in serving his beloved chicken dishes. He had started out trading his cooking skills for free
rent. However it didn’t take long for news about his incredible chicken to spread.
Wally Amos, Famous Amos Cookies
“Believe that you can do it, under any circumstances. Because if you believe you can, then you really will. That belief
just keeps you searching for the answers, then pretty soon you get it.” ― Wally Amos
Wally Amos had worked in the New York City mailroom and became a music agent and manager of stars such as
Mavin Gaye and the Supremes before starting his company Famous Amos cookies. Making cookies was something
he found fulfillment in doing and the opportunity to start this venture only happened after he was loaned $25, 000. He
opened his first bakery just when he was about to turn 40 and within five years he was making about $12 million per
year.
