Your experience is the asset.
Silver Linings is an entrepreneurship course for adults 55+ who are retired, semi-retired, changing direction, or simply ready to build something of their own.
You don’t need a business plan, a website, or any technical skill to begin. You need a starting idea, even a rough one, and the willingness to shape it.
You may be a fit if you:
- Have a skill, trade, or service people already ask you for
- Want income or purpose beyond a traditional job
- Want to leave something lasting for family or community
- Feel unsure about technology and want a patient place to start
Seven steps from idea to launch: an entrepreneurship course for adults 55+.
Each module builds on the last, and every term is explained in plain language the first time it appears. These seven modules make up the Core program, and Legacy Builders builds on them.
