Jacqueline Snyder started her first business at 26 and Product Boss at 37. She and another founder argue that self-doubt and age bias are the real obstacles to starting a company, not your actual age. The time to begin is now, whatever your age.
If you're always kicking rocks and thinking, why am I such a failure? You're never going to see yourself as a winner. You have to have the open mindset to view yourself as a person capable of change and growth and being able to achieve whatever it is you desire. I'm 27. I started this business when I was 19 and I'm going to be working on it for the foreseeable future. Life is long. I am young.
I started my first business at 26 and then when I started the Product Boss, I was 37. I thought I was locked in, right? I was a fashion designer, I was a consultant, like this is what I do. And then not even a decade later and where I am now. So no matter no matter where you are in your life, it's the perfect time for you to start and to grow and to scale your business. And just don't be ageist to yourself. Just do it.
