Title
I’m Not Old Enough to Start A Company
Overview Paragraph
I have had a few aspiring entrepreneurs say to me that they realize they are too young to start a company. They don’t have the real world experience. They won’t be taken seriously. Plus, they have their entire life ahead of them anyway. They elect to wait. I believe that is a mistake. A tragic mistake. There is no time better to start a business then when you are young.

There is an age related excuse, preventing many young people from launching a company. I have had a few aspiring entrepreneurs say to me that they realize they are too young to start a company. They don’t have the real world experience. They won’t be taken seriously. Plus, they have their entire life ahead of them anyway. They elect to wait. I believe that is a mistake. A tragic mistake. There is no time better to start a business then when you are young. There is no better time then now. I could go on and on here with a list of benefits of starting young, but I’ll save that for my book. Instead I want to tell you about an organization called Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Alex, a child who was diagnosed with cancer prior to her first birthday, set out on a mission at the ripe old age of four to find a cure for cancer. She held her first lemonade stand and raised $2000. She made this an annual event, recruited family and friends, and by the time of her passing at age eight had raised over $1M dollars. I don’t give a crap how young you are, or how old you are. If you believe in your cause, if you relentlessly commit to its success, no obstacle can stop you. Not even cancer at the age of one. Pursue your passion, and don’t let the excuse of your age get in the way. Thank God, Alex didn't decide to wait until she was older.
