Midlife Mavericks: Breaking Free from the Corporate Grind

This message is for those I call Midlife Mavericks. If you're in your late 30s, 40s, or even 50s and feeling stuck in a corporate job that no longer fulfills you, this newsletter is for you.

You've done everything society expected—education, career, family—but now you're wondering, "Is this all there is?"

The Dilemma:

You've reached a stage where you're questioning your happiness and fulfillment despite having a successful career and a comfortable life. The day job feels like a grind, and you crave more time for the people and activities that truly matter to you.

A Path Forward: Side Venture

One solution is to create a side venture that aligns with your interests and skills.

Here are six types of side businesses you can consider:

1. Affiliate and Introducer: Earn commissions by recommending products or services.
2. Trading Time for Money: Provide services like driving for Uber or teaching music.
3. Creator: Sell handmade items or creative works.
4. Middleman: Manage dropshipping businesses without holding inventory.
5. Reseller: Flip classic or secondhand items for profit.
6. Buy an Existing Business: Invest in a business that can run part-time or under your management.

Financial and Lifestyle Stability:

Starting a side venture can help you achieve financial stability and improve your lifestyle. It’s the first step in reducing your dependency on a corporate job that feels like a trap.

Beyond Business:

Being a Midlife Maverick isn't just about financial freedom. It’s about improving your health and habits to ensure a long, functional life. Focus on being functionally fit to enjoy life well into your senior years.
