Mark Twain published \u201cAdventures of Huckleberry Finn\u201d at forty-nine. Daniel Defoe wrote \u201cRobinson Crusoe\u201d at fifty-eight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And a recent Harvard Business Review article caught my eye with the headline, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.hbr.org\/cs\/2012\/04\/why_older_entrepreneurs_have_a.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Why Older Entrepreneurs Have an Edge.&#8221;<\/a> It, too, quotes Galenson as a source, discussing creativity and innovation spiking later life for some.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In his study of artists, University of Chicago economist David Galenson has shown that genius clusters into two categories. Conceptual geniuses tend to do their best work while young, producing breakthrough ideas early in their careers. But experimental geniuses, by contrast, need a long period of time to reach their peak, moving forward by trial and error, slowly accumulating the elements that will be integrated into their fully realized work.<br \/>\nLater entrepreneurship often crosses paths with yet a third later-life trend \u2014 the urge to give back. Research shows that half of those who want to become midlife entrepreneurs \u2014 more than 12 million people ages 44 to 70 \u2014 also want to meet community needs or solve a critical social problem at the same time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re Mozart, maybe you&#8217;re a prodigy who cranks out amazing works of genius while everyone else is playing hide and seek. But for those whose inspiration come from life experience, gray hair and wrinkles might be a sign we&#8217;re hitting our stride.<br \/>\n<strong>Do you feel your life experience is fueling your fully realized work?
