does age matter when I was in my first
business it was about to excel for
company I was 19 years old I had no idea
what I was doing and I was afraid to
sell I was afraid that people wouldn’t
take me seriously here I was I was 19 I
was telling the people who had PhDs who
were two or three times my age who are
experts in their field I had no science
background no computer background and i
felt like i was completely mismatched it
was me my two business partners working
out of an apartment grinding it out and
I was afraid that if any of my clients
actually saw what what our company
infrastructure was they would be shocked
and would not want to talk to me they
wouldn’t want to buy from us I had a
great looking website we look
professional from the web but what we
were actually doing I was I was
embarrassed by I didn’t want people to
find out I didn’t feel comfortable
talking to people on the phone meeting
people I just wasn’t confident enough in
it I thought I was too young and I
remember the moment where that changed
where I realized that it’s not about how
old you are it’s just about your
confidence and if you can actually
provide something of value the moment
for me came one I was working on a deal
to distribute my software in the UK a
company had come to us and they wanted
to represent they wanted to represent us
in the UK I didn’t really care so much
about the UK most of my business was to
US and canada and UK was a great you
know little piece but i didn’t really
care so much they wanted exclusive
rights so i told them you know what if
you give me 13 and a half thousand
dollars up front i’ll give you exclusive
rights to the UK and you get your
commissions you get all leads that come
to you okay I thought whatever like
they’re going to take that and I thought
you know give it away who cares I’m
working on trying to build this business
in US and canada and they wrote back and
they said let’s do it and i was shocked
that was big money for me maybe that’s
not a lot to you guys but when I was
starting up I was like three hundred
dollars a month this was 13 and a half
thousand dollars this was this was like
winning the lottery for me this was huge
this man I could I could eat you know
this man I could hang out with my
friends a little bit i’m not talking
luxury lifestyle just any kind of
lifestyle this deal got me there and I
realized that they didn’t care how old I
was what they cared about was that I had
something of value for them I had
something that could help and they
wanted a part of it and after that deal
my mindset changed and I realize it it
doesn’t matter that my customers are two
or three times my age and they have much
better education than I do and then they
know their field way better than I do it
doesn’t matter because the tool that I
was selling could help them and at the
end of the day that’s all they cared
about to nobody asked me hey do you have
a PhD like I do hey you understand
genetics like I do no they didn’t care
they only care that I could help them
with the problem and I could do that so
it doesn’t matter how old you are people
don’t care what they care about is can
you help them if you can help me then I
want to listen to you and I don’t care
what your background is I don’t care
what country you’re from I don’t care if
you have a disability or not I don’t
care if English is your second language
I don’t care about any of that stuff
that’s all in your head none of that
stuff matters it doesn’t matter all
people care about is can you help them
if you can then they’ll want to work
with you and as soon as you get over
that limiting belief in your head you’ll
start having bigger success this comes
out of a question from one of my
newsletter readers Rashid he wrote
insane do years determine the level of
success and accumulating wealth because
most of the entrepreneurs the great
entrepreneurs I know are in their late
50s let’s break that up if you’re just
talking about accumulating wealth the
typical way people do that is through
investing right and the more time you
have
the more your money from work for you
and it’s easier to make money but if
you’re talking about entrepreneurship
you don’t have to be in your late 50s to
have success as an entrepreneur most of
the great companies that are coming out
now are from young people the people in
their 20s who have revolutionary ideas
and new ways of seeing things and they
put that to work you have to just have
the confidence that’s what I was lacking
I didn’t have confidence I was so
worried and hung up on my age and how
people would perceive me that I didn’t
even try I avoided talking to customers
talking to partners talking to media as
much as possible because I was scared
and I didn’t have any self-confidence
and what we were doing and I just wanted
the product to speak for itself so it’s
so important if you’re in that place now
if you think you’re too young or too old
or too whatever it’s on your head it
doesn’t matter people don’t care about
it all they care about again is can you
help them and if you know you can then
you walk in every meeting with
confidence because you’re not selling
them now you don’t have to convince him
about anything you know that you can
help them that confidence comes through
that passion comes through that
commitment comes through and they’re
going to want to do business with you
