Thanks for this post, Jewel, you have managed to make this 55yr old woman feel so much better about her age.:-)) Steph

You are still 55 yr young, Steph, lol. You still look pretty! :)

Thank you for the kind compliment Jewel

That is motivating.

Yes, thanks Jonathan.:)

Never too old. A lady graduated from college at 95

95? That is awesome, I didn't know that, thanks Roger.:)

I saw that couple years ago. Anyway me and one of my coworkers were talking about Ray Kroc at McDonald's. He would have been about 114 years if he was still living.

Oh really, is he still living? Thanks Roger.:)

No, he passed away before I started working there.

Oh dear.:(

My mother started a construction company when she was 64 years old.

Wow! Yr mother is amazing, kudos to her!! Thanks Glen.:)

78 this year and still looking to improve my blog. Take a look....you will find the link at the bottom of my right hand sidebar.

Yes, thanks Ian, will take a look later.:)

Great post Jewel and that is what I love about learning and building an online business is that your age does not matter thanks for sharing the information

Yes, exactly, it is never too late or old to learn! Thanks Katie.:)

64 this year, still teaching and it will be my last year as I want to focus on WA.

That sounds awesome, thanks Alan.:)

Mr Sanders the chicken man has inspired me ever since I read his story. Thanks for sharing.

My pleasure, Kevin, thanks, my younger son loves KFC so much, lol.:)

Hi Jewel, love this post! I remember my grandmother saying to me as a child 'where there's a will, there's a way'. I never understood it at the time, but I guess it's true. I think using age as a barrier to do anything is an excuse to be lazy! Sue :)

Glad you like it, Sue, thank you! Yes, if there is a way, there is a will.. :)

Great post! Thanks, Jewel!

At 65 I went to university and have a BA degree in Sociology, Political Science and German. I BELIEVE I can build a successful internet marketing business with Wealthy Affiliate so my wife and I can have a great lifestyle. I will be 70 this year and feel like 50.
I have a list of goals I still need to work through

REMEMBER!

Whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve
