Even though studies say the opposite, many people believe that advanced age is an impediment to opening their own business. Nonetheless, Steve Jobs says there is another reason greater than the success factor to undertake.
According to research done by Jeff Haden, the author states that a 50-year-old person has almost twice as much chance of opening a business and it being successful. This compared to 30 year olds.
What does Steve Jobs say when you're just the employee of the company?
According to him, when you don't own something for a few years and therefore don't take responsibility for your recommendations, you end up learning only a fraction of what is possible.
He goes on to say that giving recommendations without taking responsibility for the results will only allow you a limited view of the opportunity to improve.
Steve explains his theory further
For example, Steve uses a banana as a metaphor. He says that, while you are occupying the role of an employee, you will always have the vision that the banana is perfect. However, it's two-dimensional, and as amazing as it is, you'll never get a chance to taste it.
He goes on to say that when you are the owner of your own business, even if it is small, you will have the opportunity to access the third dimension. He claims, therefore, that without the experience of doing, you will never reach three-dimensionality.
Haden complements Steve's speech and says that when you don't own your own company, you'll never care about what you do. Also, when it's your business, you're free to decide the direction of the venture.
