It’s tough (everyone says that) and certainly not what I thought it would be. But I realised that, at 38, I wasn’t even half-way through my working life and a few years invested finding a way to work that worked for me for the second half would be an investment well made. On that theme, this is a great video shared by Gary Vaynerchuk:   ![](https://makeminecount.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/9d915a_702ff9f7c7eb4eba976dd6b317029cd0mv2.webp "9d915a_702ff9f7c7eb4eba976dd6b317029cd0~mv2") If you have the desire, go do it (and my advise if you want it is focus on your first 3 years of cash-flow). If you don’t, no worries, what you’re doing is amazing too. ## Related posts [![](https://24go.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/9d915a_adca5b5194864606b3a6c524861fd81b.webp?width=352&name=9d915a_adca5b5194864606b3a6c524861fd81b.webp)](https://24go.ai/insights/online-dating-while-married) ### [Online-dating while married.](https://24go.ai/insights/online-dating-while-married) April 15, 2015 [![](https://24go.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/9d915a_bfba9441e6034e7da343b9ea5dc5b8f5_mv2.webp?width=352&name=9d915a_bfba9441e6034e7da343b9ea5dc5b8f5_mv2.webp)](https://24go.ai/insights/shopper-marketing-in-the-digital-age) ### [Shopper marketing in the digital age.](https://24go.ai/insights/shopper-marketing-in-the-digital-age) Aug 5, 2012 [![](https://24go.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/9d915a_fd4a5974b06249afa23b1958fc6681d3_mv2.webp?width=352&name=9d915a_fd4a5974b06249afa23b1958fc6681d3_mv2.webp)](https://24go.ai/insights/the-age-of-networked-influence) ### [The Age of Networked Influence.](https://24go.ai/insights/the-age-of-networked-influence) August 20, 2015 ### LOCATION Unit 3/112a Martin St, Brighton VIC 3186 [+61 (0)3 4052 5865](tel:610340525865) [hello@24go.ai](mailto:hello@24go.ai) ### There's More - [24 Hour Marketing Plan](https://24go.ai/the-24-hour-marketing-plan) - [Talent Management](https://24go.ai/talent-management) - [Training](https://24go.ai/training) - [How we use AI](https://24go.ai/artificial-intelligence) - [AEO Audit](https://24go.ai/aieo-audit) - [Contact Us](https://24go.ai/#contact) - [MakeMineCount](https://24go.ai/insights/what-was-makeminecount) - [Privacy Policy](https://24go.ai/privacy-policy) - [Terms & Conditions](https://24go.ai/terms-conditions) - [Careers](https://www.linkedin.com/company/24goai) 24GO acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners of the land on which we work and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. 24GO is operated by Morgan & Payne Ent Pty Ltd, trading as 24GO.
