One of my buddies told me yesterday
that she’s too old to start a business.
Another friend told her daughter
she was too young to write a book.
She should gather life experience first.
Age is a bullshit excuse.
I buy products every day.
I don’t know the age of the founders.
I read books every day.
I have no idea how old the authors are.
If you want a goal to be achieved,
why wait for the perfect age?
It takes an average of 10 years
to get a novel published.
If you’re too young today,
in 10 years, you’ll be older.
Same novel, different age.
If you’re too old to start a company now,
tomorrow you’ll be one day older.
When do you plan to achieve this goal?
If you want to do something,
do it.
If you fail due to lack of… something,
figure out how to partner or obtain or…
that something.
Stop making excuses.
Get out there and do.
Dr. Susan L. Reid has a great post
on the too old excuse.
