One of the greatest questions we ask is some variation of, "At this age, do I have the chops to start and run a business?" Friends,colleagues and family members ask why we aren't retiring or taking iteasy. The media either ignore us or tell us we are getting older andshould be planning for financial retirement--only 20 years late withthis message! We hear all the clichés about forgetting where we leftour glasses, that old dogs can't learn new tricks, and on and on.Thetruth is very different, as keynote speaker Gene D. Cohen, M.D., madeclear at the JWT LiveWire: The Summit conference in San Francisco.Cohen is director of the Center on Aging, Health and Humanities atGeorge Washington University, and the focus of the conferencewasmarketingto baby boomers.What Cohen taught directly relates to us as After 55 entrepreneurs.Heoutlined two very important concepts for this time of life, and eachhas great impact on how we see ourselves as women entrepreneurs. That'strue whether we're starting a newbusinessor continuing to run anestablished enterprise.The first is the Age of Creativity.According to Cohen, studies indicate that "the parts of the braininvolved in information processing, integrating thoughts and emotionsand initiating the process of memory storage . . . reach their greatestlevels from our early 50s to our late 70s." He went on to saythat this area of the brain is also the seat of creativity. Even moreexciting is that the challenges of starting and running a business arethe kind of exercise that keeps our brain cells sprouting and makingnew connections. For entrepreneurs, our businesses are much more funthan learning to do Sudoku or playing Scrabble.The secondconcept is the Age of Liberation. This is an age when we feel increasedself-confidence, freedom and liberation from what society thinks aboutus. Have you ever asked yourself, "What can they do to me?" or"If I don't do this now, when do I think I will do it?" If so, you arein the liberation phase. What a wonderful time, when we step into theperson we've always thought we can be. We've paid our dues, perhapslived to please or accommodate others, and now it's our turn. We knowwho we are, and we're willing to take a risk to bring our visions toreality.Walt Disney said, "If you can dream it, you can do it." Sciencenow supports what we have instinctively known for a long time: Ourplace at the middle of life's timeline tells us this is exactly theright time to give life to our entrepreneurial visions. Let's show themwhat we can do!
