Thank you all .. I am actually setting up a meeting (more like a question & answer) for those who expressed interest in starting their own business. I had 14 people say yes, and so far have 3 that want to meet, so thought it might be beneficial to sit down with all of them at first.

I have an 18 y/o on my team - she is great! She isn't a star (yet) but she is consistant and active!
Several very successful consultants signed when they were young and they are very successful. One in our extended cluster was 18 - she earns TPC and level 4 trips every year and is an upper level director. Jillian Grant was @ 20 and look at her now! Never underestimate anyone.
