Last summer, I was at Hershey’s Chocolate Factory in Hershey, PA, with my kids. While on the tour bus, the tour guide spoke about Hershey’s founder, Milton S. Hershey. How he took on an apprenticeship at the age of 16 and how he started his first company at 19 and how he failed many times before he could get it right and find success. But, when he did find success, after many failed attempts, he was all of 29!
There are many such grand stories of young people finding success early on. But when you trace the history, you find they started very young and failed many times before finding success. So, go ahead, start early and fail quickly.
