INDOTRENDS.ID - Ways to Succeed After the Age of 50 in the Style of World Figures, Such as: Henri Nestle, Ray Kroc, John Stith, Porche
Who says over the age of 50 you can't be successful? Do you know how many people have started businesses over the age of 50 and achieved extraordinary success? Below we will discuss various ways to succeed after the age of 50 in the style of world figures.
Examples of success are all around you, and you may not realize it. Nestle, Coca Cola, Mc Donalds, IBM, Porsche, Starbucks and KFC are examples of proven success among people over 50 years old.
1. Henri Nestle
At the age of 50, Henri Nestle invited his friends to work together to make baby porridge products made from milk. This is because he saw that many babies who were allergic to mother's milk could not survive without their mother's breast milk. This milk porridge product then sold very well and the company grew to produce many products such as sweetened condensed milk, chocolate milk and instant coffee. Until now, Nestle has developed into a multi-national company with sales to many countries, especially poor countries, because Nestle products are relatively cheap.
2. Ray Kroc
Ray Kroc was originally a salesman for a milkshake making machine. In the course of his business, he discovered a restaurant managed by the Mac Donalds brothers, which he considered efficient, clean, and guaranteed standard taste and quality. Kroc then invited them to work together to create a franchise. Not long afterward, this franchise opened in many places in America. Mc Donalds has also become a pioneer in the development of fast food restaurants in America, to date tens of thousands of Mc Donalds restaurants have been opened throughout the world. And do you know how old Ray Kroc was when he offered to collaborate with the Mc Donalds brothers? Yes! He was 52 years old at that time. Success has no Age Limit. You too can be like Kroc.
3. John Stith
Another story is about Coca Cola, which was created by John Stith Pemberton at the age of 55. However, because many people sold Coca Cola below the production price, Pemberton experienced large losses. Pemberton then sold the brand to his friend, Asa Chandler. It was Asa Chandler who then changed the Coca Cola drink into a light dose, with cheaper production costs. Only after that did Coca Cola become a hit and until now it has spread far and wide to various corners of the world.
4. Charles Flint
Charles Flint founded CTR (Computer, Tabulation and Recording Company) which was later changed to IBM (International Business Machine) when he was 61 years old. IBM is a combination of 3 companies that originally produced different products, namely timekeeping products, tabulators and computing machines. Flint learned that by combining many products, sales of one line could offset losses in another. Until now, we see IBM continuing to develop with various product variations and surviving various recessions.
5. Porsche
Porsche was a mechanic from Astro-Hungary (now Czech Republic). He was an inventor who produced many types of military vehicles ordered by the German government during World War 1. Only after he was 56 years old, he founded Porsche which produced racing cars. From there, Porsche created a high-tech car which is famous for its high speed and high quality. Until now, Porsche has become a brand that is famous throughout the world, with prices in the billions.
