5 Reasons Why Being A Young Entrepreneur Rules!

From : http://www.stanleytang.com/2009/01/17/5-reasons-why-being-a-young-entrepreneur-rules/

In this post, I’ll go through why being a young entrepreneur rules -

1. You have nothing to loose. There really isn’t any risk. You don’t have a family, you don’t have to pay any rent, you don’t have to worry about putting food on the table… so what if you fail? Now is the time to make all the mistakes and prepare yourself for the real world.
2. You get attention from the press. It’s just so easy to get attention and create buzz. That’s how got me on the frontpage of newspapers such as AppleDaily. Which headline grabs your attention more - “4-Year-Old Blogger” or “30-Year-Old Blogger” (okay, obviously this was an extreme example, but you get what I mean) Use your age to your advantage to get people talking about you!
3. You have enthusiasm. Young people have the energy to keep things going. You’ve got the passion which drives you forward and feel like it’s just another hobby of yours rather than hard work.
4. You get extra pocket money. That’s the beauty of running your own business. Your friends have to work hard part-time to earn their pocket money, while you just simply have money rolling into your bank account while you’re sleeping!
5. You can always fall back on your parents. In the end, if everything fails, you’ve always got your parents behind your back. You’ve got nothing to loose so get started!
