I don't know what the "experts" say, but I've always run my business with a principle that almost no one else agrees with, "Almost anyone can learn almost anything".
I constantly witness failures in business because someone said, "It can't be done," or "He can't do that," or "She'll never be able to do that."
I love proving them wrong. I'm rarely disappointed.
Given the right resources, the opportunity, and most of all, genuine encouragement and support, it's amazing what the human brain, at any age, can accomplish. Sometimes, all it takes to discover it is a little more faith in another than in onesself.
