Young entrepreneurs have an advantage you lose later in life – time.
I can clearly remember being around 20 years old, and making a decision to pursue my music passion, knowing I could spend a couple of years on it and see where it goes. I ended up sleeping on the floor of my small office for 2 years, poor, trying to make something happen.
A lifetime later, I simply couldn’t make that same decision. I have a family, responsibilities. Not to mention thoughts about life post-work (retirement). But back then I had none of that, I was free to do, and sacrifice, as I wanted.
Nowadays I desire to work with young entrepreneurs for the same reason. I look for people who remind me of myself at that point of my life. Filled with passion and ideas, willing to do anything to see something out. Even if it doesn’t work out, at least I tried, and I used one of the only resources I had at the time – time itself.
