The Right Age To Start A Business?
Are You Too Old To Start A Business?
Well, are you?
We've all heard the classic Entrepreneur story Young 20-something starts a business and becomes a billionaire!
Facebook Mark Zuckerberg was 19
Bumble Whitney Herd was 25
Roc-A-Fella Records Jay-Z was 25
Canva Melanie Perkins was 19
But does that mean you're too old to start a business?
Of course not! In fact, research from Harvard shows that...
42 is the average age for someone to start a business
45 is the average age of people who started the highest-growth businesses
The data shows that people who are 60 or older are still more likely than people 30 or under to start a successful business!
The research isn't clear on the exact reasons for this yet, but some potential ideas are...
Greater access to financial resources
Deeper social networks
Work experience
But it just goes to show that it's never too late to chase what you want.
