As a someone in their midlife you have an enormous wealth of experience which you can capitalise upon to generate wealth.

Here are some categories of skills a 50-year-old can turn into training or teaching opportunities. See which one closely relates to you.

However, it can be difficult FINDING the people to train and building a substantial business if you don't know how to maximise your target audience.  Here's where Myron Golden comes in.    Myron will teach you  how to: 

• Package your knowledge into premium training offers (courses, workshops, coaching).
• Identify high-value problems your skill set solves — and charge accordingly.
• Shift from hourly thinking to value-based pricing (e.g., $5K–$20K packages).

 Golden’s “Make More Offers Challenge” emphasizes this mindset shift — turning what you already know into scalable, high-ticket offers WITHOUT aggressive selling.   This is especially helpful if you’re transitioning from employment to entrepreneurship and need to learn client acquisition. 

 Myron teaches:

• Ethical, value-based selling using storytelling and problem-solving.
• How to communicate your value confidently — without discounting.
• Simple sales frameworks that don’t require tech-savviness or pressure tactics.

Myron’s Christian approach resonates with many 50+ individuals looking for meaning and impact:

• He reinforces biblical wealth principles, purpose-driven business, and serving others.
• Encourages overcoming limiting beliefs around money, age, and reinvention.
•  If faith, legacy, or giving back is important to you, his framework can feel more aligned and motivating than purely transactional models. 

Instead of trading time for money, Myron helps you build a scalable business:

• Build a product ecosystem: books, group coaching, online courses, memberships.
• Use automated funnels and live challenges to sell consistently.
• Create a repeatable, scalable system without needing a huge team or tech background.
•  This is perfect if you want to avoid burnout and build a “semi-retired” business that still grows. 

Example: A 50-Year-Old Accountant

Instead of just offering tax prep, Myron would teach you how to:

• Build a premium course like “Tax Strategy for 6-Figure Entrepreneurs”
• Offer a $5K coaching program for business owners to reduce their tax bill
• Run a live challenge teaching small business owners how to audit-proof their finances

All built off what you already know — but positioned to solve urgent, expensive problems.
