The 6 BIGGEST advantages of being young in business

To everyone who asked me if they’re too young to go into real estate, if they need to be older to be successful, if they need to have more experience this is for you. I was given the same lecture of “how you can’t be successful in real estate at 18 years old” and it’s totally untrue. These are the top 6 advantages you have by being young and inexperienced. My last video

1. You’re memorable. Because so few people start a business or sell real estate at such a young age, it’s easy to stand out. Being this different has its perks and people remember that!

2. You’re non threatening. No one is worried about you stealing their business, their clients, or trying to pull a fast one. They’re more likely to go easy on you.

3. People want to give you a chance. I’ve noticed that most older, successful people really go out of their way to help you out when you’re that much younger. Definitely use this while you still can!

4. You likely have a low overhead without a lot of expenses. It’s a lot easier to begin a new business before you have a mortgage, kids, a wife, and other payments to handle - now is the perfect time before life begins to slow you down.

5. You know social media really, really well - it should come completely second nature by now, without a learning curve. Everything you need to know if easily searchable on the internet!

6. You’re coachable. You’re a completely clean slate that hasn’t had years of repetition and routine that’s hard to change. You don’t have any bad habits that you need to break - instead, you can learn fresh from the ground up.

Remember that you still need to be a professional and treat it like a business, regardless of how old you are. You’re still competing with other people who likely have decades of experience on you, so treat it like a learning opportunity and take advantage of as much as you can, while you can.

And don’t let people discourage you. There will always be negative people trying to talk you down - ignore it. It’s white noise.
