Am I too young to start a business?

You're never too young to start a business. If you believe you're too young, then you're going to be too young and it's going to hold you back. As long as you believe that you're too young, you're never going to have success. Hi, I'm Evan Carmichael, and I believe that hungry entrepreneurs deserve help. And today I'm answering a question from one of my YouTube viewers, Capitalizer44. Now we've been going back and forth on a video with comments, on and on and on. And to summarize, Capitalizer44 is 15 years old, wants to get started in the computer business making mice for gamers because he's a gamer and he has ideas on how to make the mouse better. And he's wondering, is he too young to be doing this at 15? Listen, you're not too young. You're not too anything. If you believe you're too young, too old, too whatever, then you are, and it's not gonna work. But as long as you believe you can do it, you can. My first real successful business was when I was 19 years old. It was a software company. So I wasn't that much older than where you are now. The key thing here for you is you gotta learn a little bit about the industry. Okay? I can't help give you advice on how to build a mouse. You gotta learn about the business, and as you get into it, see if this is still something you wanna do. Maybe it's taking an internship at a company that makes mice, or doing interviews, talking to people who do it to get their feedback on it. Right, you want to have a plan. You want to research and have a plan, improve your knowledge. But you can do it. If you take time every day dedicated to this, and I would spend your time, not your money, go out and research it, create a prototype, at least on paper, and start talking to people and see if they think it's a good idea, see if you can get some orders for it, you can solve everything. You can find a manufacturer, you can find out how to make it, all of the logistical problems that come with making a mouse, you can do. Age has nothing to do with it. It's your belief and your conviction. If you believe you can do it, you can do it. You just gotta get started. I try to dedicate time every day to researching this idea, and as you get into it, you may find this isn't what I want to do. You know, it's really hard, there's not a lot of money in it, whatever, whatever problems come up, it may be too much for you. Hey, that's fine. Start something else. It's got to be around something you're passionate about, and it may still be something related to gaming. Even if it's not the mouse, but you'll never know until you actually start trying. And you'll get the information by doing the research. And it doesn't have to be something that sits on your plate until you're— how old? 18, 19, 20, 25? When you think you're old enough to run a business. You can start if you're young, you're hustling, you got ideas, you're willing to do the work. It doesn't matter how old you are, you just gotta start. Just gotta start. Good luck. For those of you watching, you like the video, please give it a thumbs up below. I also want to hear from you.
