Discover Your Business Potential

I remember sitting there, working on my résumé, thinking, "Why on earth am I looking for a job at 65?"

I'd spent years in project management. I'd worked with all kinds of systems and software, and one thing always bothered me. None of them seemed to do everything you actually needed them to do.

And I kept thinking, I could do this better.

I've always been curious about how things work. When I was little, I'd take clocks apart just to see if I could put them back together. In my twenties, I was playing around with code on a Tandy computer.

So maybe what happened next shouldn't have surprised me.

My business partner, Laura, and I started looking into buying distressed properties in Mexico. That led us to researching opportunities in the United States, and eventually to building a real estate investment company.

But we needed software to run it.

Not another collection of programs that didn't talk to each other. I wanted something that actually worked the way we worked.

So I started building it.

One tool became another. Then another. Before I knew it, I wasn't just starting a real estate business. I was building a software company.

And here's the funny part.

I was working 10 or 11 hours a day, sometimes more, and loving it!

At 65, when I was supposed to be thinking about slowing down, I was finally doing what I wanted to do.

Then something occurred to me.

I'd spent years trying to figure out how to make money online without having to turn myself into a social media personality. And I knew I couldn't be the only person my age who felt that way.

What about all the people who had worked hard their whole lives, only to discover that retirement wasn't going to look quite the way they'd planned?

People with 30 or 40 years of knowledge and experience. People who knew how to run things, organize things, fix things and solve problems.

What if they could do what I was doing?

Not necessarily start a software company. Maybe build a small business, earn some extra income, or finally pursue an idea they'd been carrying around for years.

And what if I could show them how?

That's how Vintage Rebellion was born.

I don't want to teach you a bunch of technical jargon. I want to show you how to use these new tools to do something useful with everything you already know.

And I don't want you to have to depend on us forever, either.

I want you to experience that wonderful moment when you look at something you've built and realize:

"I did that. All by myself."

Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that 65 isn't too late to start something new.

It might just be the beginning of something wonderful.
