Time and tide wait for none.
But then there are certain people on this planet whom neither age nor time could deter from following their heart and choosing entrepreneurship after getting old.
Instead of following the normal life structure led by zillions on this planet, some people happen to find their true calling only after they had completed 50 earthly years working for others.
Every human is supposed to be a karmajeevi human. For those who don’t know, karmajeevi is the adjective given to an earning by working individual. During this phase they work, earn and save as well for their retirement.
But making new rules and new things work is the real essence of entrepreneurship. This post is dedicated to all the entrepreneurs who maintained the charisma of entrepreneurship battling all odds of the old scheme of business entrepreneurs.
Here we present to you some of the Young mind entrepreneurs who aged gracefully in entrepreneurial manner:

Six months into retirement, I couldn’t really hack it. I was bored and I missed the buzz of business.
That is what the founder of Creative Arts Gallery had to say when asked about what made him an entrepreneur when he could have easily enjoyed a well-retired life in Spain. Lavishly mind you!

When we talk about retirement, it generates mixed feelings in our mind. Art Coff decided to follow his heart and launched his website RetiredBrains.com
Retired? Not a problem anymore!
RetiredBrains- an information resource for boomers, retirees and those wanting to plan for their future retirement. Users can find information on a wide range of topics such as social security, medicare, senior living resources, healthcare and many more fields.
The site holds many ideas and information about job boards, ideas for working from home, and information about starting a small business enterprise without a lot of start-up capital.
Even if we have a lot of young entrepreneurs making it big today, wisdom and experience can never be counted out. The aforementioned people gave a new dimension to entrepreneurship after getting old and proved the phrase Old is Gold.
In developed countries, retirement is seen as the time for the long wished vacation with family when no more mails or calls from work will ever disturb their family time again. Sadly, in the developing countries, where the average economic condition is not so good, people see retirement as a phase of unemployment and bad days.
We all hope for a change soon, not only in mentality but also in thoughts.
