3 Ways To Boost Your Career In Your 40's

3 Ways To Boost Your Career In Your 40’s

October 6, 2019 Filed Under: Work at Home Tips

3 Ways To Boost Your Career In Your 40’s – The great thing about being in your 40’s is that you have all the time in the world to finally focus on yourself.

Perhaps your kids are all grown up, or at least supposed to be, and you can enjoy having the time and energy to invest a bit in yourself again.

They do, after all, say that your life starts again when you hit your fourth decade so you might as well take a look at the tips below to consider all your options.

Here is a handful of great ways to boost your career or find a new start when you don’t have to focus on your kids anymore.

#1 Start your own business

If you’ve paid off most of your debt, sent your kids off to college so that they can start to earn their own money, and you’re ready to build something from scratch again, you should really consider becoming your own boss.

Starting a business is no walk in the park, that’s for sure, but it could be just the kind of challenge you need at this point. 

Have a look at these articles below for some tips on how you can get started:

  • How To Start A Virtual Assistant Business
  • How To Start A Proofreading Business
  • How To Start A Gift Basket Business
  • How To Start A Consulting Business
  • How To Start A Laundry Business
  • How To Start A Craft Business With Bluprint
  • How To Start A Wedding Planner Business
  • How To Sart A 6 Figure Blog

Remember that the more money you’re able to save up and put into the business, the easier it will be for it while it’s still young.

#2 Get another degree

The first time you completed a degree it was all about getting it over with so that you could get started on your career.

Yet, learning is actually a lot of fun – and this is the perfect time to learn something you’re actually interested in.

Study something your parents would have strongly advised you against when you were younger, for example, such as philosophy and arts.

You already have a career, in any way, and can enjoy the subjects for interest sake.

Another option is, of course, to take an online degree that will boost your career. 

You can also take non-degree online classes that teach you a specific skill (business, marketing, social media, blogging, ect) via places like SkillShare, HerPaperRoute and CreativeLive.

#3 Head off to networking events

Sometimes, we’d like to stay in the career we already have, though, and it makes a lot of sense if you’re already successful and enjoy the work you do.

Luckily, we tend to get a lot more confident with age, and this is the perfect time for you to head out and do some proper networking.

It won’t just be to boost your own career, though, as you’re in a great position to provide advice and even mentorship to those who need it the most.

Be prepared to listen as much as you talk, and brush up on your networking skills before you head out.

Boosting your career in your 40’s is actually not that hard at all.

You may think that the younger ones have a better chance than you, but they’re looking to you for advice and support. Be prepared to give it, and you might find that your career looks a lot brighter than you thought.
