Anyone start late in life?

Just wondering since next year is the "big" birthday, anyone start out their real estate investment career or on the path to wealth around 50 years old? I could kick myself for not starting sooner and for the past decade considered it was "too late." I have also been consumed building my business which is doing well. But I ready Kellers Millionaire Investors book and that motivated me. I'm in the "heavy reading, talking, education phase" and hope to get my first deal in 6 to 12 months. I'm reaching out making contacts and talking to agents, lawyers and those I've done business with in the past. Don't want to go in unprepared but man, I wish I did this years ago even though I have a successful business.

something I heard but will always remember

Time is your most precious asset, it should never be Wasted or abused.

Yesterday is gone, there is no guarantee that we get tomorrow.

All we have is today. Make the best of it.
