Successful Entrepreneurs Who Achieved Their Breakthroughs After 40
While many entrepreneurs achieve success in their 20s and 30s, many others have achieved their breakthroughs later in life, after the age of 40. Here are some inspiring examples:
McDonald’s – Founded by Ray Kroc at 52
Kroc was a milkshake mixer salesman when he discovered the McDonald brothers’ efficient hamburger stand in 1954. He acquired the rights to franchise the restaurant and grew it into the global fast-food empire it is today.
KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) – Franchised by Harland Sanders (Colonel Sanders) at 62
Sanders franchised his fried chicken recipe for the first time in 1952, at the age of 62. His fried chicken recipe had been a hit at his service station, and the franchise eventually grew into the KFC chain we know today.
IBM (Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company) – Founded by Charles Flint at 61
In 1911, Flint brought together several companies to form the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, which was later renamed IBM in 1924.
Home Depot – Co-founded by Bernie Marcus at 50
After being fired from his job at Handy Dan home improvement stores, Marcus co-founded Home Depot with his business partner in 1979, at the age of 50.
Julia Child’s Cookbook and TV Career – Launched at 50
Child published her debut cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in 1961, at the age of 50, which led to her becoming a renowned TV chef.
GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company) – Founded by Leo Goodwin at 50
Goodwin founded GEICO in 1936, at the age of 50, with his wife Lillian.
These examples demonstrate that entrepreneurial success can come at any age, even for those who start major businesses and ventures in their 40s, 50s, and beyond.
