Age is not the barrier you might think it is, check out these more mature peeps, Ronni Kahn, Pete Murray, Jan Logan and Ita Buttrose. These are just 4 people who did something “later” in life and have been very successful.
Who says your crazy idea might not be exactly what the world needs? Regardless of how young or old you are.
Today we look at 4 people that could have stopped, but in fact made a significant contribution “later” in life.
Ronni Kahn is the founder of OZ Harvest (Australia’s largest Food rescue association) and started this at the age of 52. I imagine her and all the people that they help (36,033,021 meals delivered in 2021) are glad she didn’t think she was too old. She has changed an entire industry and in fact created a new one for food rescue and diverted 9,456,673 kgs from landfill.
Pete Murray is a musician, and you might be thinking old, what the? He became a serious musician into his thirties. Shocking I know! In an industry where if you haven’t had major success by mid to late 20s, you give up, this is unusual. Pete only started learning guitar at 22, he didn't think he was too old, actually, he did. He was convinced by other musos and has had 3 albums that have achieved Platinum status on the ARIA Charts (Australian Recording Industry Association) as a result.
Jan Logan started her jewellery business at age 50. She had her kids and decided she needed something else in her life (see this article about a country girl to design icon). The designs are just divine and I often lust over them. Thank goodness she didn't think she was too old.
Finally, everyone’s favourite, Ita Buttrose. A very formidable women, having worked in Magazines and Newspapers, when they were male chauvinistic bastions, Ita was invited and accepted the chair of the ABC at the age of 77. She did not think she was too old.
The above people ignored the people who said, “you are too old” and just went ahead and did it anyway. The above are very public examples of the people who refused to let age be a barrier. I am sure if you looked around you, you could find loads more.
So, what does this mean for you?
Do not let age be a barrier to you. I want you to do the thing you have been avoiding, thinking it was not right or odd. You are not too old. It is doable. Ignore the naysayers and go do your thing.
Share your amazing thing and be amazed at what you can do, regardless of how old or young you are
