Best to start in your youth.......when you are burning with lots of energy with a young heart that can with stand risks. You still have time for trial and errors before you can solidify and bank on your experiences.

Nope......u can hustle at any age, but its better when u re young cos as u get older u become risk phobic i.e. U tend to go after 'safer' investment options

"Colonel" Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken at the age of 65 years, and he lived 25 more years to enjoy his labour. So there is no age limit.

for me there is no age limit to success what we lack as human is courage, we look

at what is happening around us and we are afraid, to take that step thinkn we gonna fail, angry as long as your palm shows no sign of poverty

the sky is your starting point

Is not too late to be an enterpreneur but to dream to be a dangote i laugh, i know a lot of Nairalanders will come and post encouraging words but please tell your grand pa to face reality. I don't know which part of dangote story he read or maybe he was reading upside down, someone need to tell your grandpa how influential and rich Dangote and otedola families are. Of all busineess to do at old age agriculture is definately out of the question. And i hope is not going into a poultry farm business the man can die of heart attacker sooner than latter.

I think he should travel to Abuja instead not his village

I started my company at the age of 18. The only problem associated with it is lack of HR as the people are blinded with security and no one cares about freedom. But the joy is that i'm always in control since my business is ICT oriented.
