As I sat there shaking my head, I felt pity, but also anger. I had just finished reading an email from one of my customers telling me point blank that she was "just too old for this business". After mulling it over, I came to the simple conclusion that this could only mean one of two things: she was making excuses for herself or someone had put it in her head that age somehow determines your online success.

No matter what had caused this woman to draw her conclusions, I can tell you that there is in fact no age limit for Internet marketers. Why would there be? All that is required to be successful online is to acquire the proper knowledge and mix it with some hard work. Yet, I must admit this isn't the first email I have received on this very subject. Emails about age being a roadblock to success are all too common in my inbox.

There is no doubt that young and old alike can find success online. This isn't a guess, but a fact. I personally know a 13 year old who started to market online several years ago, and today he is making six figures annually. On the flip side, I know of a marketer who is 79 years young and he created one of the biggest dating Websites online. I also just met two teenagers who created one of the busiest social sites on the Web almost three years ago. Believe it or not, they will just be starting college this Fall.

These successful marketers could of easily used their age as a ready-made excuse for failure. They could have quit or worse, never even tried at all. Instead, they didn't let their age become a roadblock to their dreams.

The next time you tell yourself that your age is a good reason not to get into Internet marketing, ask yourself why you feel that way. It is likely that it is fear causing you to use your age as an easy out. Others have overcome those feelings and you have the power to do the same.

Now if a friend or loved one tells you that "someone your age" shouldn't try online marketing, be sure to ask them why. I guarantee his or her reasons will ring hollow, because almost anyone can do this business. Your age, sex, and the color of your skin will not determine how successful you are. You will. Period.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and get started today!
