Hi!
With your varied and rich experience I'm sure it won't take that long to find a suitable job. I'd just recommend that you try to be a little more cheerful. You after all attract, what you constantly think about and feel. Now that I've covered the psychology mumbo-jumbo, I can go ahead.
Well everyone has already listed out great points and advice.
Can you personally list out, what you're open to doing and the limits that you have personally set yourself? Have you tried any Social Networking websites to promote yourself and interact with fellow industry mates and/or recruiters. I recommend LinkedIn especially.
The three years (missing according to you), are in fact not exactly a hiatus, since you were trying to establish a business. This for whatever reason, didn't work. However, it doesn't take away from all the years of experience you've accumulated.
Please don't consider falsifying your work experience. The ramifications will be much more, with you being in a senior position. Don't give up hope, and certainly not to moan about your age!
All the best!

Dear Fabcat
I have tried all social networking sites & more to promote my career & candidature. I have been knocking doors of every placement agency worth it's salt. But somehow, nothing is happening. There's not a single job-portal where my cv is not posted, similar not a single professional/other networking sites where I have tried. It's just not happening. Help me ,if possible.

Dear Not so lost anymore I hope,
As I was reading your post, I was thinking along the lines of you being a Consultant or Corporate Trainer. This is much sought after in today's work arena, and the pay is good as well. I feel with your experience, you could try this. My mother works in this capacity and it's rewarding. I will message you my details as well.
Keep up the good spirits!

Hi
I am reading this post more than 15 days from the last message
I hope you got some positives during this time.
To the best of my knowledge, marketing people are always in demand. More so in recession as they are the only ones who can rescue a company.
I would suggest you post your cv here.
May be the cv needs to be written properly.l
Seniors here can see and tell you if you need to make changes.
Second, most employers will not consider the 3 years gap as unemployed. You were not employed but self employed. Consider that when you apply for a new job. In your cv show this period as working for xyz company (the actual name of your business, not a fake one). During interview you need to tell them that you decided not to continue being self employed as you wish once again to work within the support system that a large organisation creates and that you are finding it difficult to focus on your mail selling skills being bogged down by too many other requirements (eg business development, hr, tax, collection, banking). That would be a very good reason to return to job.
Do not put your CTC in the cv.
When asked focus in your earning level in business as the level you wish to earn or that how much you need to have a comfortable life in the city. Avoid discussing your CTC in previous job on the grounds that it was 3 years ago and too many things have changed after that. When talking of how much you earned in business, stress the last of income stability as the reason for wanting to get back to job.
You need to project that you are not aspiring to get back to the earning levels of your hey days. Most prospective employers would be considering that and thinking you will leave after 3 moths when you get another job. You need to convince them that it won't happen
