For someone like me who’s been working very hard to be successful, it can be very frustrating to realize that you are in your late 20s and have yet to achieve a modicum of success. You could be reading this and thinking, “Well I’m in my 30s or even 40s and have yet to see any success.”

I feel your pain. It’s no fun hearing about all these teenagers On YouTube and TikTok making millions when you only have a few hundred dollars to your name.

However, I was comforted when I looked at the data and noticed that success comes late to some people. The figure below shows some famous people and the age range in which they achieved mega success.

    From age<br>50 - 59 : Betty White : Taikichiro Mori : Ray Kroc : Arianna Huffington : Wally Blume

If you’re already in your 30s, 40s, or even 50s, you can rest assured knowing you still have a chance to see that mega success. Don’t stop grinding it out!
