The fact is actually quite different. According to data from the 2014 U.S. Census, less than 2 percent of millennials said they were self-employed. That\u2019s less than a third of the rates of entrepreneurship among Generation X (7.6%) who were born in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">early 1960s to the early 1980s<\/span> and Baby Boomers (8.3%, who were born in the mid-1940s<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to about 1960<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). As some research points out, older, more established and better-connected individuals are more likely to start their own business than younger ones, with self-employment rates peaking at age 53.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-973135-unsplash.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1031\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9114 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-973135-unsplash-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Making Notes on Encore Entrepreneurship\" width=\"467\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-973135-unsplash-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-973135-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-973135-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-973135-unsplash-1080x721.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to shifts in the economy, a desire for autonomy, and the need for some income in the 50s, 60s, etc. self-employment after age 50 is becoming more common as a second career option. In other words, entrepreneurship as an \u201cencore\u201d to a previous career(s) is becoming more common. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>What\u2019s the First Step?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Countless conversations have revolved around the topic of \u201cIn ___ years, I\u2019d love to leave this job and start my own business doing __________.\u201d As the barriers to entrepreneurship drop due to technology and shifts in the economy, these conversations are leading to concrete actions. Common questions to answer include: What type of business will you start? Will you provide a service or products? What about your product or service will be unique so that people will buy from you instead of someone else? Will you start it from scratch or will you buy a franchise? Will you pursue this alone or will you have partners? All of these questions, plus some basics about how you\u2019ll finance it, should be answered in a brief business plan. This brief business plan will form the basis of your roadmap.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>What\u2019s the Second Step?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve considered some of the important preliminaries, it\u2019s important that you take a sober look at your strengths and weaknesses and confirm that you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pursue entrepreneurship. I always say \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">just because you can do something doesn\u2019t mean that you should do it.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d It\u2019s important to work with your strengths while finding ways to compensate for your weaknesses. This is something that I always address when working with <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/deluxe-counselling-package-customizable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">career coaching clients<\/a> who are contemplating a career change. One way to offset personal weaknesses is to find partners, employees, and\/or contractors who excel at things that you\u2019re not good at. Another option is to develop systems and\/or procedures to offset those weaknesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-656711-unsplash.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1033\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-9112 \" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-656711-unsplash-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"encore entrepreneurship\" width=\"371\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-656711-unsplash-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-656711-unsplash-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-656711-unsplash-1024x762.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/rawpixel-656711-unsplash-1080x804.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>What Else Should I Consider?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s plenty to think about before making the leap from employee to entrepreneur.
