How many times have you heard someone say, “If I only knew then what I know now…”

My entire life I’ve been both blessed and cursed with a restless soul. It’s what drives me to achieve, as I’m rarely satisfied with the status quo. I’ve always looked to the future and have been able to figure out where it is I want and need to go. 

In the early days, it was simple survival and then, as I began to achieve a certain level of success, it became more complex. At each step, one side of my brain said “Take it easy” while the other side said “That’s done, what’s next?” And, to my great fortune, I’ve more often than not heeded the call of what’s next.

It’s served me well for one simple reason in that nothing remains stagnant in business. In always looking to the horizon, I’ve had to continually learn new things and explore new ways of applying old ones. It’s kept me focused, hungry and in fighting-shape to take on the new challenges of the day. 

This is why I don’t fear the new generation of business men and women entering the game today armed with their new technologies and wide-eyed wonder. Hell, I’m just as excited as they are, and in most cases, just as up to date on technology, but with more experience. In the case of business, at least, I am a twenty-something with a fifty-something’s knowledge and experience. 

So if you find yourself a bit off balance in these challenging times, all it takes is the right attitude and an insatiable appetite for learning. You just need to ask “Why?” and then set about finding the answers.

Because this new economic wave will only be a young person’s game if you let it.
