The most dynamic business people are those who are starting their own business for the first time. They have innovative and daring ideas and believe that the world is a safe place for young entrepreneurs!
They have dreams of the world waiting with baited breath for their latest million dollar idea. They believe that their journey will be short, sweet and simple. They laugh at older people that are still struggling to get by.
They are full of optimism and hope to realize their ambitions in record time not realising that their lack of serious business knowledge and their high sex drive is waiting for them like a trap that a hunter has set!
As they get older, most become cautious and their respect for people that are already successful grows… as they start to realize the sheer effort and true grit that is involved in making a new business fly.
Most serious (or should it be serial?) entrepreneurs generally start making a serious income in their late thirties and early forties. Prior to this they have been at "school" trying to figure out what works and getting shrewder, sharper and wiser by the minute.
Finally, if they have not become cynical, they learn to be humble and knuckle down to some hard work. If they have persevered and not let their business goals die in this shark infested world of business, they are now ready to make inroads into their desires and goals.
The best advice I can give to anybody starting up for the first time is to find one or more successful business mentors that you can trust completely. Make sure that if you ask for their advice then you follow it!
A normal man learns from his experiences, a bright man learns from other people's experiences and a clever man will seek the relevant advice from properly qualified people and take a short cut!
