Thread: Your not too old to start a business and become a huge success!!!

Something I struggled with for years in my early-mid twenties was the fact that I was starting "late" in the entrepreneurship arena, even though I had been doing entrepreneurial gigs for years; it never dawned on me that selling birdhouses when I was ten, and buying candy at the store and selling it at school on my own dime, and other activities was entrepreneurial. I have seen many posts on here and other places of young people in their twenties and thirties in the dumps because they feel they are starting out too late. Well, that's hogwash and ill prove it. First off never compare yourself to others, especially outliers like Gates and Jobs; your circumstances cannot be compared accurately to others. It takes 15 years or less in today's economy to make a billion, if you hit it right, and you can make a million in less than 18 months. Stop comparing yourself to others in life and business, and it will take a load off your shoulders. There is a huge list of founders who started after 45 and made a killing. Just focus and get rolling.

"The average age of U.S. technology company founders in the U.S. is 39, with twice as many being over 50 as under 25."
