Old Enough…Young Enough…Good Enough. By Chip Conley

“We often get so preoccupied with age that we miss that mastery in front of our nose. 
 
Is she old enough to run that company? Is he young enough to be dating her? 
 
Let me introduce you to someone who doesn’t care about old or young, but instead focuses on being good enough. 
 
Almost exactly a year ago, John Goodenough received the Nobel Prize at age 97 having invented the lithium-ion battery late in life.” 
 
I am often asked about my age because I seem to know a lot. Well, I have Asian young looking gene and petite in stature. 
 
Regardless of my age, I graduated with my 4 year degree in less than 3 1/2 years. 
 
Before graduating I worked in the auditing field an average of 55 hours a week for almost 10 years with 4 different CPA firms. 
 
While most people in their 20’s are trying to figure out their career path I had audited over 300 companies in over 20 different industries. 
 
My only break in between was 8 weeks maternity leave during my three pregnancies. 
 
You’re not old or young enough to do what you’re doing. You’re “good enough”. 
 
Give me a call next time if you have doubts about whether you are good enough. I have a masterclass with the answer to this question.
