Re: Is it better to become an entrepreneur at an early age?
- The younger you are the better you are at learning.
I just posted a new thread that one of our teams won 2nd place at the FLL competition. these kids are at age 11-12, and they learned most of the skills by themselves.
They know how to read and write in English. Kids in Israel just start learning English at the age of 10. They learned programing skills, etc.
One of the kids learn how to use the Gimp program in one hour! That was amazing, all he knew before is how to work with windows' paint, and I downloaded gimp and he made posters for the team.
This is why there are many schools for 3 years old, teaching them English and math.
To answer you question, Kevin, I thing young is good, after you learn different skills, you can start at an early age. Kids in my country have a little advantage, they have to go to the army for 2 years, this experience is preparing you to life, and you have to mature early.
And the best thing about it the early retirement too. A good entrepreneur will be able to retire early, this is everyones dream.
Re: How to Stay Motivated
- Thanks for posting this, Matthew. Keeping the motivation strong is something I've really been struggling with. Donna, I think I was just not pushing as hard as I need to and getting maintenance instead of progress.
