Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Patrick Bet-David answers the question: "How big of a role does your age play when it comes to entrepreneurship?"
The answer isn't as simple as you might think. Bet-David says thatolder peopleare more paranoid, wiser and logical, and they have more contacts and more to lose -- all of which may give them an advantage in business. To the contrary,young peopleare more naive and emotional, they think that they know everything and they have nothing to lose -- also traits that can benefit entrepreneurs.
For example, some level of naiveté helps in business -- it makes people more optimistic and willing to ask for help. However being somewhat paranoid is also good for business, because it makes people cautious and methodical.
