Reinvention for 23-year-olds with nothing to lose is relatively easy. At 40, it's brave. Here's how to do it well.At 23, Nick Francis left the BBC, drove a Mini to Mongolia, and stumbled into building a creative business now in 9 countries. Back then, it didn't feel brave. No mortgage. No kids. Nothing to lose.As Nick says: "If you quit your job in your 40s, with kids and responsibilities - that's brave."Here's what struck me: midlife reinvention isn't about starting over. It's about starting better.In your 40s, you're not building from zero. You have:Clarity about what you actually want (not what you think you should want)Skills that compound in unexpected waysNetworks built on real relationshipsResilience from surviving previous challengesThe 23-year-old has energy. The 40-something has intention.Nick's line stuck with me: "We often overvalue the risk of doing something different, and undervalue the risk of continuing to do what we've always done."If you're questioning your next chapter, you're not having a crisis. You're seeing an opening - an opening to thoughtfully design your next chapter.This conversation is special because Nick not only shares deep wisdom on reinvention - he also acquired my company last year. Shownoteshttps://howtolive.life/episode/102-building-a-business-with-heart-with-Nick-FrancisFor Folks Affected by Restructuring4 Week Career Transition Program. https://www.sharadlal.net/thrivethroughtransition How to Live NewsletterGo deeper with articles every 2-3 weeks.
