Age: not a limit to what you can become

Champions… The True Greats… Like a fine wine
only get better with age…

Our best years are always in front of us. If that is what we choose to believe…

Many people use the age excuse when chasing
their dreams, thinking that it may be past them.

But… there are countless examples of people,
famous people, who have become greatly
successful in their later year.
Most of these succesful people had to endure
heartbreaking failure and multiple set backs, well
before they made it big. They would have been
forgiven for thinking they would never reach any
level of success, let alone the heights they did.

There are great examples of poeple that clearly says that age is no limitation,
there are no limitations expect those we create in
our own minds.

1.Darwin
He was 50 years old when he published on the origin of species in 1859, the book that espoused the theory for when he best known today.

2.Martha Stewart
Her success came after age 41 with the publication of her first book, Entertaining after she had worked on wall of street and a catering firm.

3.Ray Kroc
Ray Kroc spent his career toiling away as a
milkshake device salesman, in 1942 at the age of
52 Ray Croc purchased McDonalds. He grew it
into the world’s largest fast-food franchise & one
of the most recognisable brands on planet earth.

4. Andrea Bocelli

Andrea Bocelli, the now famous Italian opera
singer who became blind when he was only 12
years old, didn’t get any significant breakthrough
in singing opera until the age of 34. Some
‘experts’ told him it was too late to begin. At the
age of 41, his album “Sacred Arias” became the
highest selling classical album by a solo artist,
with over 5 million copies sold!

5.Henry Ford
Henry Ford is known today for his innovation,
leadership and classic American-made cars,
But he wasn’t an instant success.
In fact, Ford suffered multiple set backs and
failures early on in his business. He was broke &
in financial trouble at least 5 times before he
founded the successful Ford Motor Company.

6.Harlan Sanders
Harlan Sanders, better known now as Colonel
Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken, was 66 when
he began to promote his style of cooking and
create an empire. KFC now sits alongside
McDonalds as one of the most recognisable fast
food outlets in the world.

7. Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey is one of the most famous people
in the world. She is also one of the richest and
most successful women in the world. But early on
in life it wasn’t so great for Oprah.
She endured a touch upbringing, often abusive
childhood & grew up in a very poor family. Her
chances of ending up where she is today were
slim and none. Oprah suffered numerous career
setbacks and did not make it big until later in life.

8.Buffon
Gigi Buffon, pictured, is 37 years of age. This
morning he captained his team Juventus to the
pinnacle of world club football, the Champions
League final…
Watching him celebrate after the game it was clear
his HUNGER for success was still burning strong.
Here is a guy, 37 years old, who has won
everything in world football. He would be forgiven
to hang up the boots, kick back and reflect on life
as one of the most successful goalkeepers of all
time.

But Champions, the Greats, they think differently.
They care not for age, they don’t perceive limits
and they are always hungry to succeed…
Regardless of age.
There are so many thousands of examples of
famous, and not so famous people who became
successful in their later years.
It is never too late to chase your dreams, age is
on your side, not against you.

Like Wizkid sang in one of his songs "age is just a number..."

Its never to late to do something new. If you want to start a new business or change your career or maybe you want to do something new, it never to late.
