Business For Beginners What Age And Experience Is Required

One of the most difficult moments in the beginning of the business is that the aspiring entrepreneur actually often just very young. Often this is a huge problem, I had to face it again and again, since I started my first serious business while still at university, older people make me take my mind (believe in my vision) to believe in my ability and I would argue it is a very it is important for business - your credibility. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that I look 3-4 years younger than his years (this is of course very cool when I'm 60!).

Society teaches people to associate age with experience, and experience with the competence and expertise. This expectation default suggests that if we are young, we are inexperienced and therefore unlikely to be able to help qualitatively (and often this is the case). Almost all parents to educate their children, as we see it from time immemorial there is always a "elders" and the hierarchy of age-related. At school, there is a social hierarchy based on your class and year of birth (I bet that most authoritative school bully was older than you).

That's a pretty high barrier to entry in the business for any young entrepreneur. The Company expects that you are less capable than you yourself . This makes it difficult to do business for beginners - this factor must be taken into account. But anyone inspired young entrepreneur will be hotly argued that it has more knowledge and skills than they need to compete with adults colleagues. In the end, the world is changing rapidly and you can adapt faster than anyone else, you are more versed in modern technology than the older generation, because you have grown up with this progress, you have a rare combination of traditional education and new vision through the lens progress and technology to become the next generation of advanced entrepreneurs; you have fewer obligations in life and therefore you are more (faster and easier) are ready to take strategic risks. As a young entrepreneur you have a choice: Do you want to become a victim of false public expectations, which are not considered old enough to be a leader or you want to quickly make your career?

Any successful businessman will tell you that big business is based on a professional team rather than one person. The business owner must surround himself with the best people (staff), what only they can find. Sometimes this will mean attracting people who are older than you. Sometimes they are old enough to be your parents. Never think that giving someone a salary you buy instead of their faith in your credibility. If your own team does not take you seriously, you will have a business with front-wheel and rear wheel brake.

If you look at the competitive environment, you will find that there are hundreds of other companies that offer too as you. Do not let your age be the reason why customers do not choose you, and go to a competitor. Some businesses do not require direct interaction directly with buyers and customers (eg, internet shops), but many businesses depend on it.


Here's how to change the false expectations:

1. promised myself to never let a stranger false expectations about you affect your reality.
2. Deep believe in your value in what you and your organization can offer customers. Firmly believe it.
3. Show your enthusiasm at every opportunity. Your passion in your field, a huge interest in the development and new technologies. Passion is contagious and will help to change the so-called thinking "logic" of age against experience.

4. Prepare for the impact of the skeptics. Solve problems or objections before they arise. Prepare in advance a presentation that starts with "You would think that we are very young and green," and then on details, such as the collective experience of your team, how long your business works and achievements.

5. Let your work sells itself. Carry out the work so that you are proud of her and could show its results products of such quality that they sell themselves.

6. Let the people have the opportunity to communicate with you personally. Take time to conduct meaningful conversations with people and share with them their ideologies.

7. Ask the customer to recommend you. When you have demonstrated their value and professionalism to your customers, it is a powerful basis for improving your credibility. Use this actively.

8. Be prepared to learn. Remember that the rapid growth of business or your career and your experience should not be directly related to your age, so absorb all the available information that can be found on your topic or your business.
