Layoffs, Downsizing, Ageism: The Reality After 50 and My Plan to Beat It

You may have noticed I've been exploring a new path.

After 25 years in marketing, writing four books, speaking at events around the world and helping thousands of people with their marketing and LinkedIn, I'm ready for "what's next."

What's next for me?

To be honest, the details are still evolving.

I do know a lot of men in the later stages of their careers who are also looking for "what's next."?

Chances are, if you are over 50, your career will not end on your terms.

Layoffs, mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, and of course good old-age discrimination will terminate your career in a split second.

It happened to me in what I thought was the prime of my career.

It was a slap in the face.

I do know I want my "what's next" to end on my terms.

This will be my grand finale.

I'm calling it my Epic Encore.

I decided I'm going to share my journey as I create my Epic Encore.

I'm focusing on what I love doing.

Saying "HELL NO" to everything else.

And figuring out who I want to help.

And saying "HELL NO" to the rest of you.

I'm doing a market research deep dive to see what my "HELL YES" people are looking for.

And what are they willing to pay.

I'm researching potential competitors...

...and reviewing their offers and social media content.

I'm lining up a team of subject matter experts who will be my "faculty" to show us what's working now.

And how to create your own micropreneur business.

Where you work a few hours a week to stay in the game.

And we're going to have a ton of fun.

I'll be sharing my journey in the Epic Encore Community.

I'd love to have you come along for the ride and create your own Epic Encore grand finale.

It's time to answer this question for the last time...

WHO do you want to be when you grow up?
