4. College can wait.
Can life wait?
You have probably heard of 60-year olds who
enroll in colleges or know some. You can
choose to attend college at any point in your
life and for different reasons. Some people
do it for pleasure, some out of curiosity. What
about life? If there’s a need and a good market in some place, it’s only there for a period
of time and under certain circumstances. In
this case, starting a company can’t wait. If
Mark Zuckerberg had waited to finish college
in 2006, Twitter would have been there first.
Countries which are considered emerging
markets today, won’t be in a few years. Life
can’t wait; you shouldn’t either.
5. Minimum risk
The fact that it’s less risky to build a business
at a young age can make a huge difference.
When you’re single (or maybe not), and you
don’t have dependants, you have a higher
chance of getting a business off the ground
without pressure from external responsibilities. You’re also not stressing on paying bills
and student loan debts. It’s an entrepreneur’s
ideal plot.
6. Connect
An increased network is important when
it comes to running a successful business.
You meet tons of new people and learn from
successful business people. All these opportunities open up doors for whatever you’re
pursuing.
Take this article with a pinch of salt. In this
world, there are employees and entrepreneurs. If you’re an entrepreneur, you have
seen value in this column. If not, you might

background.
