What Is the Best Age to Start a Business? The Answer from a Billionaire
How old do you have to be to start a small business? Here is a proven answer.
Once I saw a CEO from a prestigious technology firm complaining how young professionals unrealistically expect dizzying ascents up the corporate ladder at the start of their careers.
These are folks who have received two or three promotions in a row, either by luck or by exceptional performance, now believe that this is the standard.
This is resulting in swarms of inexperienced (albeit skilled) seniors. It creates gaps for misplaced expectations.
I agree with him. I also agree that the Chinese billionaire Jack Ma’s career and entrepreneurial timeline are preferable.
This is also the path I chose for my career. First as a student, then as a corporate employee, and finally as a business owner.
A lovely, spacious home must not be on shaky foundations. And you can’t start a solid company unless you know how to get your hands dirty.
