at what age do you take someone seriously? - GoFuckYourself.com

At what age do you start to take someone seriously in this business? Or is it totally irrelevant to you when doing business with someone if they are 19 or 30?

Sly · 04-18-2008, 12:37 PM

It has little to do with age. Most of the people I respect most are under 30.

respect is something earned not awarded at any specific age. if you've got your shit together and know what you're talking about i willt ake you serious, no matter what your age.

What he said.
But sometimes it can be pain in the ass if your working with VERY young entrepreneur´s, who THINK they got their shit together and are the shit overall. Mostly i just dump them right away

That's what I see you as

Age is ussualy irrelevant, its emotional development.

farkedup · 04-18-2008, 01:02 PM

minimum 21 simply because teenagers are all punks that think they know everything. I'm 25 BTW and honestly don't take myself all that seriously at times so generally around 30 is when things generally really come together for people.

This is actually a better way of wording what I mean. I'm not so much talking about 'respect', but more 'experience'

Anusbananus · 04-18-2008, 01:19 PM

at 21 or sometimes at 30

and i seen your blog and it just looked like something someone would do that didnt know what they were doing

Loryn · 04-18-2008, 01:21 PM

Has nothing to do with age. There was a youngin? at the Phoenix show and they were more mature and respectful then half the 40 year olds there.

TMM_John · 04-18-2008, 01:22 PM

I started in this business just after I turned 18. That was about 11 and a half years ago now tho.

I don't hold anyone's age against them.

TubeTitans_SusieQ · 04-18-2008, 01:27 PM

I think it depends on the person age has a little to do with it, but it's not everything. There are 30 year-olds I wouldn't take serious.

TheDoc · 04-18-2008, 01:36 PM

To be taken seriously? I can see why age would be a factor, at least as a first impression. Just because you are a business owner, doesn't mean the person on the other end should or has to take you seriously, no matter the age.

You could be any age, young adult or old, if you tell me you run a business I often will ask a couple of questions. You could be 10, and you answer back with confidence and appear to have drive, I would have a little more overall respect for you.

Age will always play a factor, younger success is harder to swallow for the guy that can't see past the selfish self or the lack of being able to see ones own success as being good.

hey man what you do to make money is your business, i was just saying thats how you come off as, i dont know how you actually are, dont really need to know or care to know unless you need some writing done

its great that you were able to make that much, especially with the site just being 1 month old, I've had some days where I made $3k in a day, but I wouldn't tell people I make $3k a day off of what I do

I'd like to say experience working online is much more important than age. At the same time 5 years experience is kind of deceiving when it's held by a 21yo kid.
