Episode Description
Starting a business after 60 using LinkedIn, relationships, and minimal cost strategies for financial security during career transition.
Sue Ellson has been an independent consultant since 1994 and joined LinkedIn in 2003.
She's authored five books including Gigsters and is recognised internationally as a leading expert on the platform.
In this conversation, Sue offers a practical roadmap for professional women considering entrepreneurship after 60. She explains her 'job for now' concept for maintaining financial security during transition, why your professional relationships are more powerful than any marketing tactic for combating ageism, and how to launch with minimal cost using LinkedIn as your primary platform.
Sue defines her 'Geekster' identity using technology to build a flexible career drawing on three decades of independent practice.
Wisepreneurs explores how independent professionals turn accumulated expertise into sustainable practice.
