This Week’s Thoughts

“Youth is wasted on the young” famously said by author George Bernard Shaw, illustrates the classical lack of appreciation for life that we only come to cherish after many years around the sun.

George grew up in a different time than the world we are living in today. I feel that as I have gotten older, my own gratitude for younger people has taken a significant uptick to becoming focused on exclusively working with them.

The fastest growing team in my primary business is under 30 and they are growing exponentially by talking to their friends about the freedom and flexibility of being self-employed. Now, I strive to partner with them as they are the ones with the best ideas and truly are the future.

Today, my favorite business partners are younger than me. They have less baggage that they have picked up early in life, they tend to not have the responsibility of childcare, and bottomline - They just want to work.

Young people are growing up in a world of highlights & filters, and however much we may hate that being the reality of society - When they scroll and are only shown perfectly edited photos, designer apparel, and fancy cars- there becomes a desire to make that their world.

This world that young people are navigating through does create rose colored glasses to the way the world actually is…However, it is a motivator for those that are driven to become more.

Thats where you come in - Find them, connect with them, and partner with them. Seek to offer your own wisdom that you have acquired, and offer guidance to expedite this success track they are on.

What value can you offer them?
What are you a master of that only comes with time?
What skills do you possess that they are lacking?

Find a way to start working with younger people and your business will be on a path to compound…Because, if you are over 40 and not focused on connecting with people younger than you, then you can expect to age out in the next 10 years…and you will be too old to catch up.

The world is moving faster than ever- AI, Blockchain, Quantum Computing, ChatGPT- All things not only understood, but utilized by this younger generation.

The future is bright for those willing to bend their opinions to the will of the moving world.
