Foolish boomer?
I'm a 64-year old supply chain manager. Most of my experience is in defense/aerospace manufacturing. I was laid off in January and am having difficulty finding gainful employment.
Thinking about going into business for myself, and considering franchises. The one that has my attention is lawn care, specifically non-toxic, organic fertilizer, weed control, etc. Subscription service, so recurring income.
I'm in great shape for a man ten years younger, so I'm sure I could do the work - at least until I have enough clients to hire a technician.
The leap is scary, I don't have a lot of time to recover from a failed experiment.
What would you do?
