So while I was sick last week (which is why I didn’t get my free idea friday out!  Sorry!).  I watched the Hunter S. Thompson documentary, ‘Buy the ticket, take the ride’.  Toward the end of the movie, they say ‘Buy the ticket, take the ride.   As you get older, the ticket gets more expensive and the ride shorter’.  That statement really rung true in my mind.

I see why the Seed Companies look for younger entrepreneurs.  They’re able to take a lot more risk coming out of school.  There’s nothing that they won’t benefit from.  However, as you get older, the more difficult it is to really “buy that ticket”.  Once you get kids, a mortgage, it gets even harder.  One thing that we all take for granted as well is time.  The ride truly does get shorter and shorter, because time is the only asset that we’ll never get back.  Money we can make again, once a minute is gone, it’s gone forever.

So for anyone out there reading this, if you’re coming out of school or sick of your job, buy the ticket, take the ride!
