I have heard it said a few times before, “You must have 12 years experience before anyone will take you seriously.”  They believe that without experience you aren’t qualified. 

Well, if you are constantly looked at as underexperienced, how do you ever get the chance to become experienced. 

What I have come to understand is that there are two quotients involved with becoming successful/qualified/experienced - Desire + Experience.  Too many times people look for Experience first and then Desire in qualified people, but if you look in that order you will find only 1% of the populations is qualified.  But if you look for Desire first, you will find a person willing to ‘Undergo’ the Experience. Â
