@PatronesHumanos How fun to see this post! We are on Day 14 of a 30 day trip. From the US to mostly Portugal ending with a 10 day Med cruise. We definitely pre-organized with a variety of types of "vacations " within the timeframe. Right now we are in a beach town with plans to just hang around.
Ellen Latham suffered a major career setback at 40 when she was suddenly fired from her dream job as an exercise physiologist at a high-end spa in Miami.
She was devastated.
But she didn’t give up.
Fourteen years later, at the age of 54, she founded Orangetheory Fitness, a science-based fitness franchise that now boasts over 1M members, does $1B+ in sales, and has 1,200 studios around the globe.
Here are 8 inspirational quotes from Ellen:
1. “Create your “why”, and you gain clarity and motivation.”
2. “I’m Italian, so carbs are something we will never give up.”
3. “Focus on what you do have and your talents, know your worth.”
4. “When I hear a problem, I look for solutions. That’s just who I am.”
5. “You have to believe in your potential one thousand percent.”
6. “Take advantage of the colorful thinking of women. It will add to your business.”
7. “I’m going to leave a legacy of changing and improving the world.”
8. “You find great happiness when you find your purpose in life.”

It’s widely believed that the most successful entrepreneurs are young. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg were in their early twenties when they launched what would become world-changing companies.
Do these famous cases reflect a generalizable pattern?
Research shows that among the top 0.1% of startups based on growth in their first five years, the founders started their companies, on average, when they were 45 years old.
It's never too late to turn your dream idea, into your dream business.
