Just an interesting fact to share:
Ray Kroc of McDonald's fame was in his 50s when he started the business. The McDonald's fast-food chain happened to become successful company and top-brand within Ray's lifetime. He died in the 1980s. Before McDonald's he hadn't been known for anything truly glorious and exceptional as achievement.
Perhaps, besides amounting enourmous experience and insight about restaurants and sales. Something which took him decades in the hard way and is recognizable only afterwards.
