I'm Daiki Yamashita, CEO of Garoop Inc. "You are never too young to start a business." Lately, I feel this with real conviction. In particular, the age of "10" gives you an overwhelming advantage in the business world, one that adults can hardly imagine.

In this article, I'll share my own perspective on why starting a business at 10 is the strongest option, and how to overcome the obstacles you'll face along the way.

Starting at 10: A "Not Yet Set" Brain Creates the Future

The more experience adults gain, the more they actually run the risk of their "brains setting." Memories of past successes and failures influence present decisions.

A 10-year-old's brain, on the other hand, has not yet "set," so unlimited possibilities are open. They can actively embrace new ideas and ways of thinking.

How to Overcome the Obstacles

1. Unlimited potential, not ruled by the "hippocampus"

2. Making decisions by intuition, without gaining experience

3. Not listening to the opinions of those around you

4. Solving problems from your own point of view
