At 43, I’m starting over completely from scratch. Which skills should I learn, and what path should I take? I know this might sound like an unusual question for someone my age, but I’m truly lost - in both direction and confidence.

Looking back, I once found success in affiliate marketing and SEO, but after some major setbacks, I lost everything I had built. Since then, I’ve tried launching several businesses, but each one has failed. I only recently discovered this book and community, and it’s giving me hope.

Now, I’m working for a friend to make ends meet, and every time I try to save enough to start something of my own, I find myself falling short again. These repeated failures have left me feeling worthless, with zero confidence in making decisions. My past knowledge in SEO and affiliate marketing feels outdated and useless.

I’m seeking guidance for a fresh start and a sustainable path forward. I’m not looking for someone to hold my hand - I know that’s unrealistic. But if anyone could mentor me, I promise to be a committed and dedicated mentee. I’ve never had guidance before, and while I used to think I could manage alone, I now realize I need help.

Thank you to anyone who’s willing to offer advice or guidance.
