Jason Vana's Linkedin Analytics

I started my business in my 40s. And I'm glad I waited. Most fluffluencers will tell you to start NOW. - don't wait - build in your 20s - quit your job and go all in Stupid, stupid, STUPID. When I was in my 20s: - Facebook required a college email to sign up - LinkedIn was just a virtual resume platform - Instagram didn't exist - Threads didn't exist - TikTok didn't exist - Kit didn't exist - X didn't exist If you wanted to start a business, you had to do it old school. Focus on the local market. Send direct mail. Go door to door. Or *gasp* do some cold calling. And I lived in rural Illinois. Meaning, if I tried to start SHFT when I was 24... ...I would have been broke by 25. Why am I sharing this with you? Stop listening to people trying to sell you a program. Only YOU know when the right time is to start your business. It might not be today. It might not be next year. It might not be until you're *gasp* 40. (I'm so old, I know) Waiting isn't a sign that you're procrastinating or lazy. It's a sign that you're smart. And you want to build something that actually lasts. Not a business that barely gets by because some knob told you to "start now" without even knowing who you are or what you're building all so they could sell you a $299 course that promises to turn you into an entrepreneur. Don't listen to the fluffluencers. Listen to those of us who took our time and built damn good businesses. You might learn a thing or two. ✌🏼 #shftyourbrand ——- PS - I likely won’t be responding to comments. Mama Vana fell this morning and was rushed to the ER.
