Starting a business at a young age is an adventure which you should try out and there are some advantages of starting business at a young age.
It is an adventure that is worth trying because you will learn a lot of things from it. Nobody was born with the gift or skill of doing business. It is a skill that everyone one has to desire and develop.
In short, mark Zuckerberg launched the Facebook social media networking services from his dormitory room on February 4 2004 in Harvard University. He was 19 years old when he started Facebook.
There are other examples of people who started and succeeded in business at a young age which goes to show that you can achieve success in business at a young age.
There are some advantages of starting your business at a young age and I will be discussing about that in this post.
More energy
Younger people usually have more energy and they can do a lot of things but as people start growing older from age 35 upwards, their strength starts to diminish and they are not able to do some things they could do in the past.
Being young is characterized with strength, energy and vigor. That young age is the best time to start a business because you have a lot of energy to run around to achieve your goals.
More creativity
The truth is that younger people are more creative. Being creative doesn’t have to do with age, it has to do with the state of your mind.
Creativity can sometimes be inborn and it can also be developed. But really, if you notice, you will see that younger people are more creative.
The best time to unleash your creativity I when you are young, do not wait till you are old before you start tapping into your creative mind.
Being creative has a great impact on your business and that is one of the things that distinguishes you among many competitors.
So, tap into your creative mind today and get creative.
Well-motivated
I’m sure that when you were younger, you were well motivated and you had a lot of big dreams but as time passed by your motivation and dreams dwindle.
But the good thing is that you can make a decision to remain being well motivated. If you are running a business, you need to be well motivated because there will be a lot of ups and downs in business.
You need to be able to stay strong and focused if you want to succeed in business.
And I can tell you that it is easier for you to keep getting motivated when you are younger. If you can’t stay motivated when you are young, you will possibly not be able to stay motivated as you grow older.
More time
When you are younger, you will have lesser responsibility which will afford you the time to work on your business. As you grow older, your responsibility increases, you will get married and have children or you will have more nieces and nephews.
So, the best time to start business is when you are young. That is when you have the time to learn, make mistakes and correct your mistakes.
So, if you are young, this is the time to experiment different types of business strategies and business.
Risk tolerance
Young people can take more risk in business because their health condition can take it. For instance, when you are young, you are not prone to having high blood pressure, stroke or cardiac arrest.
Which is why you will notice that older people are at high risk of falling sick when business go down. This is happening because their risk tolerance is also reducing.
