There’s No Set Path To Success: Why It’s Never Too Late To Achieve Your Dreams

by levkha783 on 02/05/2014

When it comes to famous entrepreneurs, names like Zuckerberg, Spiegel, and Sims often come to mind. These young CEOs of companies like Facebook, Snapchat, and Codecademy have captured the media’s attention and are frequently featured in lists like Forbes’ 30 under 30.

However, they are not the only entrepreneurs with incredible stories and successful businesses. Anna Vital of Funders and Founders has created infographics to show that it’s never too late to achieve success.

As highlighted by DigitalSynopsis.com, Vital’s graphic includes examples of people who found success later in life:

• Evan Williams co-founded Twitter at 35.
• Niklas Zennström created Skype at 37.
• Ariana Huffington started the Huffington Post at 54, which is now hugely popular among younger audiences.

Vital’s work emphasizes that there’s no reason to give up. Age and past failures are not obstacles to achieving dreams. Even if you find yourself on a different path, it doesn’t mean you won’t reach your goals.

For example, an aspiring actor working as a waiter or an accountant who blogs on the side might feel off course. However, many successful people have taken detours and found their way while seemingly lost, proving that the best routes are sometimes discovered through unexpected twists and turns.

In conclusion, there is no one-size-fits-all path to success. No matter your age or circumstances, it’s never too late to pursue and achieve your dreams.
