Starting from scratch and reinventing your career can be a daunting prospect as an adult, yet more and more people have chosen to do so at 40 and 50.

Facing such a radical change and finding the courage to get back into the game can often be the best option to get out of a situation of professional dissatisfaction or acquire new skills.

According to a study by the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), about 82% of adults aged 47 or over who have embarked on a new career path after 45 have been successful.

However, changing jobs at 40 still scares those who think they are not up to it and cannot see new opportunities: the biggest obstacle is often the negative attitude and the fear of not doing it alone or of being forced to consider positions that might pay less.

So how can you change your perspective to reinvent yourself at work?

Here are some interesting opportunities and valid options to consider to challenge yourself in new and challenging professional contexts.


82% of adults who have embarked on a new career path after the age of 45 have achieved success.

Analyzing trends and market trends is essential to find a new job.

Business opportunities to change jobs at 40 years old

The first step to changing job is to have a precise idea of your skills but above all of the opportunities of the market: planning and analyzing the trends of the future and the performance of your sector is essential to finding a new rewarding job or opening a new business.

Those who intend to change jobs at 40 are often driven by the desire to enhance their skills and exploit their wealth of knowledge and experience when embarking on a new career.

Going it on your own is one of the strongest stimuli that determine the choice to change jobs: making a transition from employee and entrepreneur is often considered the best way to make a leap in quality and build a more fulfilling professional future.

Among the various opportunities, franchising is considered one of the best ways to start a new business.

Being part of a large international network and at the same time maintaining independence in management and planning are among the reasons that push to undertake this career and to seize the opportunities of a dynamic and constantly evolving sector, always capable of offering new stimuli and reducing business risks.

However, it is a multifaceted world, where it can be difficult to orient yourself and be able to understand which formats to rely upon to make a new business work and be successful. The best way is to find out about the most profitable sectors and move at the right time to seize new market opportunities.

Getting back into the game with franchising

Among the booming business opportunities franchising in the logistics sector assumes a strategic role for those who intend to reinvent themselves at the age of 40: globalization and the trend in online purchases in recent years has affected not only large distribution chains but also private users themselves, leading to a growing mobilization of goods that are now traveling faster and faster from one end of the world to the other.

In this context, the Franchised Service Centers affiliated with large logistics companies represent an important territorial reference point capable of intercepting the needs of businesses and satisfying the new needs of buyers.

Starting a business in the logistics sector means seizing the opportunities of a dynamic and constantly growing sector but above all relying on the support of a team to guide new activities: opening an MBE Center means becoming part of an internationally established network, a business system that works and allows you to change jobs and start a successful career without any entrepreneurial experience, even at 40.
