But let be honest , she got two problems!!!!!!!!!...First MONEY!!!!!!..AND Two..At 40YEARS OLD..START A NEW LIFE AS A WOMAN...IT' mission IMPOSSIBLE!(ask famous actrice in HOLLYWOOD AFTER 40)..No matter how you graduate or not, our civilized society don't really love changes about woman(crazy world you know).

Sam Walton was 44 when he opened the first Walmart, and Colonel Sanders started the KFC franchise when he was 65 and he said "Don't give up when your 65, maybe your boat hasn't come in yet". It is never too late to stop trying, and something that I have learned is that if you really want something go and get it no excuses! I do understand your point of the digital era and how E-Commerce has began to completely take over the consumer world. Building a scalable business model is crucial to success, but that does not mean everything you do has to scale.
Merci..i appreciate your point..!..I'll keep doing my best to help by any mean neccessary!^^
@azh starting a new business is one thing, starting a new business in an already saturated area of the market is not the best choice.
I wish your friend the best, but no business angel who wants to have any chance of getting their money back let along making a profit would invest in such a venture.
Again good luck to this lady... btw age is not the issue. the lack of opportunity it the issue.
