Dude. It's not cool to call people who are trying to help you idiots. Even if they're stating that your mindset needs a change.
Business is not like going to the gym. Or trainning for the marathon. It has many similarities but it isn't the same.
You can start at 55 with the right mindset and the correct methodology (CENTS) and become richer in 2 years than someone who doesn't and started at 16.
So we have a 23 year old calling people giving him good advice idiots here?
My, how much one can learn at only 23.
For those of us that have been 35, we can say this;
With 35 you may have gained an experience, knowledge, contacts, capital, ideas, validations, etc. that can position you better than if you were 20. I'm not saying it's better to start with 35 than with 20, I say it depends on the person not the age.
For me personally, I started my first business when I was 25, and it did quite well. Looking back, now that I'm over 50, I'd say I was twice as "effective" when I was 35. I not only knew so much more, but I had a full decade of valuable experience. At 25, I had the chutzpah to make up for the lack of everything else I was lacking - but, of course, had no way of knowing that at the time.
The best advice I can give you is this - and I'm sorry to say you won't like it, but here it is anyway. Thinking you know so much at your very young age shows your incredible immaturity - which is reinforced by your aggressive attitude calling people idiots. When you realize how much you don't know, you may see how far you have to go, and can then start learning from others, as well as laying out a plan of action. Until then, as others have said, you are making excuses and deluding yourself. You are also doing yourself NO favors by wasting time on all of this.
In real life, as you will see when you get there, 35 is an ideal age because it is when knowledge and experience begin to come together which brings everything into much greater focus. That decade of experience from 25 to 35 will give you a solid base to build your life on, as well as huge confidence because you HAVE actually lived the experiences that form you.
We are laughing at you because you somehow think 35 is old. For so many here, it is the beginning of things, because it is at that point that all the powers and experience one possesses really can be harnessed.
This message is sent with love and hope for you - signed; an idiot.
