I often like to surf through the forums on Digital Point, and see what other webmasters are up to. If you have never used Digital Point, I highly recommend it as a great resource to connect with other webmasters and even find skilled labor for your projects. I was looking throughout the forum this morning when I came across a thread that had many posts debating whether age really matters when making money online. Legally the law says that you have to be 18 years old, so that you can sign binding contracts. But in all honesty, I am a big supporter of young entrepreneurs. In today’s society the number of young millionaires is constantly on the rise. Multi million dollar companies have proven that young entrepreneurs can make it big in this online world.

Google was originally created by two college students in the back of a van. Youtube originated from a group of college students in a garage. MillionDollarHomePage.com was created by an 18 year old so that he could pay for college. The list can go on and on. In my opinion, age is just a number. All that you need in order to start a business is a vision, dedication, and maturity to follow through, and grow your business.

To my surprise, there were a lot of people that made posts in the thread saying how they were against it and making fun of young entrepreneurs. America’s economy needs entrepreneurs, and if they start when they’re young, they will be such an amazing asset to our society when they get older and have even more experience. Whatever happened to the American dream? I remember growing up always hearing that I could whatever I wanted as long as I put my mind to it. No one ever said anything about age. Do you really want your kids to grow up and trade their hours for dollars, or do you want them to do something with their lives and live out their dreams? America’s kids are tomorrows leaders, and I believe that they are going to rock the world, and make an amazing impact in our society.

I can’t change the world alone, but I can inspire others to live out their potential. If you are reading this as a young entrepreneur, I want to inspire you to go on and put your dreams into action to make them a reality. Don’t let anything get in the way of your vision. Not age, not other webmasters, not anything. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and that’s the truth.

I know that this article was a bit more serious then they usually are, but this is a really important issue for me, and I always stand by my beliefs and will always back them up. I always want to encourage others and help them to grow and be better business men and women.
