Thank you to the FGB community.

I thought about opening my own marketing consulting firm for quite a while, but I was employed and making good money so the appetite wasn't really there. Then I was laid off and could not find work. I mean it was bleak. Plus I have the added pressure of being over 50.

This gave me the courage to open my own firm and it's thanks to you all for keeping my spirits up. I've read so many inspiring stories about job challenges and finding new roles that make you happier than ever. It's never too late to recognize your own dreams. Thank you!

    Am so happy to read this! I too am over 50 and found myself unemployed and discouraged 2 years ago. During that time, I volunteered and freelanced. I took a job thinking it would last just a few months but it turned out the best move ever! I absolutely love my job and my employer and colleagues. It doesn't pay well and the hours aren't the best but it led me to follow my dreams. :) Thank you for posting this!
