Requesting career advice

I am 54 years old and was the president of a 7 figure revenue company managing distribution centers. I am now unemployed and looking for the next step. I do not have many technical skills and it has been difficult to find work considering most of my career has been entrepreneur. Any thoughts on new career opportunities and any certificates I can get to be more attractive to businesses?

I do not want to retire or create another start up company considering the risks and the age I am at.

Any advice is welcomed.
