Yup. On the one hand, “Kids today are lazy. Why can’t they work hard like Baby Boomers?” and the other hand, “I’m not gonna hire some old guy”.
Good luck with that.
What’s ‘old’ if he/she is efficient and capable? It means you can be away from the ‘store’ and know that things are under control.
I ran my own bookkeeping business from age 40 to age 84.
BY MYSELF. FROM MY HOUSE. LAND LINE ONLY WITH ANSWERING MACHINE. NEVER had a cell phone.
Could choose who I wanted for clients & my longest client retired at his age of 84-—I was 82. I did HIS BOOKS FOR OVER 53 YEARS.
DO YOUR OWN HUSTLE.....YOU MAY WORK HARD SOME WEEKS & NOT SO MUCH OTHER WEEKS-—BUT YOU CAN MANAGE.
