We all know that life, in general, can be our biggest and best teacher. Well, today on Stand Out Be You, we’re capturing the story of the amazing Linda Clay, who speaks about starting her own business—in her 60s!
Linda’s own life experiences helped her develop the skills she needs to help business owners. At present, she works to empower women with the confidence they need to map out and chase their own visions. On the podcast, Linda speaks frankly about the hills and valleys that helped her climb to the top of her mountain.
Today, Linda does it all. She works as a business and lifestyle strategist, female entrepreneur, author, motivator, speaker, and change-maker—so if you’re ready to overcome fear and go after what you want in business and life…you’re gonna want to take a listen!
We all have that chitty chatty voice that says, “What? What are people gonna think? What?” And you have to learn to control that because it’s just the fear within you that’s coming out, because you’re stretching yourself beyond your comfort zone.
These days, age really doesn’t matter. In the online world, whether you’re 15 or 95, it’s easier than ever to follow your vision and start your own business, wherever (and whenever!) you are in life. The most important thing is deciding what you want, and standing to face the challenge of actually making it happen.
Well, Linda has been more than ready to face that challenge! Like many solopreneurs, Linda first got her start in the corporate world. Jumping from job to job over the years, she supported her family and had a lot of fun doing it—until she was blindsided by the death of her husband.
Linda talks frankly about sitting still for years, grieving and unable to move, before “waking up” with no income, a family to support, and no direction. And that’s when she started a path to where she is today.
After deciding to start over, Linda began working with a “treasure map” strategy, creating a vision for herself and manifesting her goals. And at last, after jumping from corporate jobs to a corporate job, Linda finally found herself starting a new career at 60!
Today, Linda works with women as a virtual assistant and consultant, using her own experiences to help others decide how to live their own lives. Check out the podcast to learn more about her journey, and to hear the wealth of advice she offers to anyone following in her footsteps!
