This blog is designed to celebrate the exceptional business skill that comes with years of age and experience.
The world is changing. People are living longer and longer... and quality business entrepreneurs are ready to enter into their third, fourth and even fifth careers.
Like good wine, these people mature with age... they have been there, done that, got all the T-shirts... they've seen it all before... and they can save you a fortune by sharing their expertise in your business.

From the above article posted in 2002, and given that we generally seem to lag developments in the US by a few years - Is this going to happen in South Africa soon?
'Suddenly, it is fab to be a forty- or fifty-year-old in Silicon Valley as the economic downturn has put a premium on experience over raw youth.'
Says Jan Gullet: 'What I am finding quite frankly is that dozens, literally dozens of young engineers are coming to me and putting me on their advisory boards to help them because they recognise they simply don't have the experience or credibility with investors by themselves.'
