Starting a business around the age of 60 also has such a set of data worth referring to:
Of the ten groups that set up shops and started businesses on the street, more than four bosses are elderly people around 60 years old. Most of these groups are restaurants and small hotels, and most of them are groceries, supermarkets, tobacco and alcohol, vegetables, logistics, warehousing and collection.
In alleys, parks and markets, vendors are the mainstream groups, and more than five out of ten are elderly groups around 60 years old, and most of them get what they pay for, and there is no routine;
Since the media platform, more than two-tenths of people are around 60 years old. This group is popular with experience sharing, life records, health care, and talents for the elderly.
Why is the success rate of starting a business around the age of 60 so high?
1, no longer ambitious, ambitious, all entrepreneurial trends are down-to-earth.
As stated in Lean Entrepreneurship, "Entrepreneurs should make a prototype product with the minimum cost and the shortest time, and then put it on the market to test the feedback from the market, instead of investing huge costs to make a product that they thought was perfect from the beginning."
2. Do your best. All investment and identification of entrepreneurial projects are based on the resources in your hands. Set up a stall without resources and try to do things that cost little or no money.
There is a saying that the elderly are "thieves who never die". It is appropriate for the elderly to start a business, and there is no need to exaggerate it.
3. Be more persistent than young people and know how to try and adjust.
Because at this age, they already know how to complain and pour out, which is useless. The fault of entrepreneurship is only the starting point for adjusting the direction.
It is more important than young people to know that "acting" is more important than "building a car behind closed doors".
"What if I have a lot of money?" "What if I did?" Middle-aged and elderly people don't make such assumptions. If they can do it, they will give up. It's that simple. It's so direct.
Starting a business around the age of 60 will become a highlight of China.
The seventh census shows that the total number of elderly people aged 60 and above is 264 million, and the life expectancy of the national population reaches 77.3 years. In this changing era, most elderly people, especially those before the age of 70, do not consider themselves a burden to their families, countries and society. They are also using labor to create value for family, society and country in various ways.
I can't find the demographic data of 60-70-year-olds who are still starting businesses, working as cleaners and domestic workers, but I think we should applaud the elderly here.
