How To Take Action
I would suggest focusing on performance and merit when advancing your business or personal growth. Don’t worry about age or how long you've been in the game. Look at what you’ve done and what skills you bring to the table. Make a list of your accomplishments and the skills you possess. This will help you see where your strengths lie and where you might need to improve.
A good way of moving forward is by ensuring you’re a culture fit wherever you are—whether it's your company or community. Identify the core values and culture of the group and see how well you align. This tends to enhance how well your skills and accomplishments are received.
Pay attention to people who are younger but have achieved a lot. This is a sign of high talent density. It means they are likely excited, hungry, and enthusiastic. You can learn from their approach and adopt some of their strategies to boost your performance. Look for ways to keep your own enthusiasm and hunger alive. Try setting small, achievable goals that keep you motivated and help you perform better.
Lastly, it’s important to surround yourself with high-performing individuals. Their energy and drive can inspire you to achieve more and push boundaries. Be open to learning from everyone, regardless of their age. Each person's unique experiences and skills can offer invaluable lessons.
