As long as you are alive, yes!

Let me hit you with some real stories of people who started late and still crushed it.

1. Colonel Sanders - The Chicken King

You’ve heard of KFC, right? Well, Harland Sanders didn’t start frying up that finger-lickin' chicken until he was in his 60s. Before that? He was a failed salesman, a gas station owner, and had about a dozen other gigs that didn’t pan out. At 65, with his recipe and a whole lot of determination, he started franchising his chicken business. Today, KFC is a global phenomenon. Imagine if he’d thought he was too old to try.

2. Vera Wang - The Fashion Icon

You see her name on luxury wedding gowns, but Vera Wang didn’t design her first dress until she was 40. Before that, she was a figure skater and then an editor at Vogue. She thought she’d missed her shot in fashion design, but clearly, she hadn’t. Today, she’s one of the most respected designers in the world. It wasn’t about her age; it was about her ion.

3. Samuel L. Jackson - Hollywood's Coolest

Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his big break until he was 46 when he starred in Pulp Fiction. Before that, he was doing small roles, battling addiction, and trying to find his way. Now? He’s one of the highest-grossing actors of all time. Age didn’t hold him back. His persistence pushed him forward.

4. Ray Kroc - The Man Behind McDonald's

Ray Kroc was a milkshake machine salesman well into his 50s when he stumbled upon a little burger t run by the McDonald brothers. He saw potential, bought them out, and turned McDonald's into the fast-food empire we know today. He was over 50 when he started! He literally built a billion-dollar brand while most people were thinking about retirement.

5. Laura Ingalls Wilder - The Pioneer Author

You know Little House on the Prairie? Laura Ingalls Wilder didn’t publish her first book until she was 65. Yep, 65! She spent years working on a farm, raising a family, and living the pioneer life before she decided to write about it. Her stories became timeless classics, beloved by generations.

So, is it okay to start life at 46? Heck yes, it is. Your age isn't a roadblock; it's a badge of experience. Life doesn't hand out deadlines for dreams. You set your timeline.

In this life, some people can run, some can walk while others can only crawl, It does not matter whether you run, walk or crawl, My philosophy is to constantly be on the move from one point to the other no matter how little.

You’re not too old my friend. You’re just getting started. I would rather die trying to make it than give up.

Go for it.

It is well with you comrade.

I suggest you go for spiritual cleasing in a very remote area if you know one.

Afterall, You can then choose to learn a skill or trade. Dedicated at least twelve months to this course. I'm certain you will experience breakthrough.

You will marvel if many successful people in Nigeria tells you "TRUTH" what they did and went through before they become successful.

This isn't a bad plan after all. But for a grown man with many responsibilities and all would one concentrate? Because the way the country is hitting people right and left sef is crazy.

So far you're still breathing, the sky is your stepping stone if you want to achieve great things, that's my own belief.
Some make it in their teens, some in their twenties, fourties and even sixties.. your mindset is what matters most.

Chairman, God no dey catch late-comers. God works in timeless eternity and not Spanish wall clock.
You can start all over again and still achieve what you wanna achieve.
What you need:
1- Put God first, the very first! Note this: God can change your story overnight....even in a jiffy!!
2- Determine to do away with shame. Do you know why? People will laugh at you. Don't get discouraged....keep moving!
3 - If you're married, plan with your wife. Women, mostly good wives can influence success in the journey of life.
4- Be ready to pay the sacrifice. Greatness will cost you something.... depending on how the journey is.
5- Stop bad habits. Gambling, smoking, drinking, womanizing, fraud, etc......can't take you anywhere.
6 - Read books and learn from others who have been through hell in the journey of life.
7- Believe in yourself. The climbing of mountain starts with a step....and another step....and another step....and on like that.

You can learn anything for free on YouTube, Coursera, udemy and the likes undecided...

Though paying to learn, will give you a more streamlined approach undecided...

However, when funds is an issue, YouTube and Google should be your best friend if you want to learn any skill undecided...

And even if you pay to learn sef, you still need YouTube and the likes to get better undecided...
