Being passionate about your business is the key to starting when you're over 40, says Zeile."[Some people] may start a business because a market looks good or a product looks good, but they personally are not really enthusiastic about the business," she notes.

Because you'll be eating, sleeping and breathing your business, it's vital that it be something that lights you up inside."You can't get caught up in the myth that you'll be working less for more money," she says.

To pursue a career in executive coaching, Zeile had to give up more than an impressive title and a staff of 65."I was a shoe freak," she admits."You reward yourself for working so hard by turning up the volume on massages, pedicures, and shopping."But sacrificing her shoe habit, says the 43-year-old former vice president, was the easy part."After you take those things away, you realize they make no difference at all," she says.Collaboration proved more difficult to get along without, so Zeile founded the Coaching Consortium, which provides resources to a select group of coaches.How does she like her new life?"I love it," she says.
