Today is world women's day , and I spent it in excellent company !I was giving 2 seminars to women over 50 who are thinking of setting up in business. This fantastic programme is run by London Metropolitan University, here's what they say about it !
F50 - Forward at Fifty
A course for women over 50 is being offered by London Metropolitan University.
People are staying younger for longer and not everyone wants to retire. Plus there is a pensions crisis for women. Population forecasts show that the over 50s are likely to make up a growing proportion of business start-ups. Evidence suggests that the trend for more people over 50 to start a business will continue to grow.
The Forward at 50 short course is a unique opportunity for women 50+ who want to become self-employed, or who have recently started a small business, and would like to participate in a business support learning group. The course is part-funded by the European Social Fund and is open to women 50+ in the Greater London area.

Tell me Yvonne, did these women want to change career totally, or set up a business in something they had skills in before.
I know so many people of our age who have completely changed they way of working, and what they do for work at our age, its such a liberating age!
I'm really looking forward to my years running up to retirement, there's still so much I can do.
Can you tell me more about what the seminars involved?
Best wishes Swanx
yes Swann , most of these women , wanted to change career or adapt to new ways of working ...to do things for themselves...I am also really loving being in business though it can be stressful sometimes.
I gave them a seminar, on empowering themselves , and selling their services.
