Default Age is no barrier!

Hi Erik,

Age is no barrier!

The fact is - you have MUCH more experience in business than most people do!

You've probably seen posts here occasionally from my brother Thomas - he's 22. Since his teens, he'd already set up several business (and had some failures too). Right now, his focus is more on a (probably lucrative) career in finance than on entrepreneurship, however, sometimes I think it's easier when you're younger. For one thing, there are more "publicity" angles. The media love stories of young entrepreneurs, which is an opportunity for free publicity.

A lot of us who got "later" starts in business WISH we had started when we were younger!

By the way, there are lots of stories of people who are succeeding (or have succeeded) at young ages. Age really is NO barrier at all.

I wrote a post last year about how Michael Dell got started in busines as a teenager. Bill Gates got an early start too. This shows that age really is no object....

What counts more is your knowledge, your skills, your ability to spot business opportunities - and a willingness to put all this into action. At least that's my view. :)

P.S. By the way, Erik, is your original sales letter online - the one from a few years ago? The "10%" response one? I'd love to read it again, if it's still around somewhere.... That was a great sales letter! :)
