Creating an income when you are in your mid 40's and beyond is fraught with peril. This time tested and proven (have spent over 50 years starting and running many high tech operations) entrepreneur will help you decide what direction to go and how to avoid many of the $80 billion dollars’ worth of scams and frauds (a US number for 2016) that are designed to live off of unaware or trusting individuals like yourself. What you will find are examples of what works in the real world, how to minimize your exposure, and a multitude of practical approaches that were tested in the “trenches of reality” and not a “check list” written by an academician. Additionally - for those that are interested there are detailed summaries of how our Government is financed and who gets what - written in easy to understand non MBA verbiage plus simple pie charts. For anyone who is considering a “second career” either out of desire or out of a necessity – this course is mandatory!
