I thought this was a very different style of elevator pitching that was done to me. Essentially, the person was interested in doing PR type of work in the future and was telling me how if I ever needed anything like that to give him a call as he felt he had the right personality to do so.

He then went on to talk a bit on how he looked older than me which will help when it comes to those people who only want to talk to others who are over a certain age group. At the same time, he commented on how it can be more effective to get someone like him to speak to people within his own race group as that will eliminate any stereotypes or prejudice when it comes to talking business.

While there are a ton of people like that, as I encounter them everyday, I personally adopted the attitude of not trying to convince people with that kind of mindset. Why spend all of your energy convincing someone who solely relies on superficial factors like those when you can focus on doing what you do to attract people that focus on values and results?

It’s almost like saying, if you had a million dollars to giveaway which was in a very cartoony box that a specific person wouldn’t go near to take as a result, would you keep trying to convince the person to take it? There are a ton of others who will focus on the gift inside the box instead.

I had an interesting conversation recently where the topic revolved around a person expressing how the age range of 20 to 30 is your time to try as many things as you can to earn an income and that by 30 you are kind of too old to not just settle down by then on one thing only.

I was having a debate with him about this as I don’t see what age had to do with it as I believe it had more to do with your circumstances and what you really want. Does anyone ever truly quit exploring ways to generate money? Even if you are doing very well you should still find ways to do more in my opinion.

The number one reason that I was told on why by 30 you should just settle down is due to marriage/family reasons as you need the financial stability to sustain one and that people’s “biological clocks” are ticking which means you shouldn’t be in that risk taking mentality anymore. I would think just by looking at all those family owned businesses would say otherwise.

If age does limit anything when it comes to financial exploration, in my opinion it’s that it restricts you in terms of the type of approaches you can use to achieve a goal. That doesn’t stop you from exploring still and being able to reach the same finish line though.
