Just remember that stories of entrepreneurs making it big in their 20s is news because it is uncommon. If it was normal, you wouldn't hear about it. No one writes a news story about the sun rising everyday. People starting successful businesses later on in their career doesn't make the news because it is probably more common. Also, there is no such thing as overnight success despite what these stories may have you believe. When I have read or listened to interviews from entrepreneurs, it is quite common that the "overnight success" was 10 years in the making. This is from Mixergy's latest interview with Seth Godin: "I started more than 100 businesses before I had one that really worked. I was three weeks away from bankruptcy for six years in a row. I went window shopping in restaurants. I launched a video tape with fish swimming back and forth for people who couldn’t have an aquarium. I had a business selling light bulbs door-to-door to raise money for marching bands. There’s a really long list of failures."
