In this podcast episode, I will be sharing a very important message for people in their 20's! I want to talk about 5 mistakes that you should not make in your 20's to have a great future ahead! I am sure you don't want to enter your 30's struggling, right? No one does! But most of the times, we don't have the right set of advice from the right people! So well, based out of personal experience, the following are the top 5 mistakes to avoids: #1: Trying to chase Fame! Our 20's is the age when most of us start chasing fame, we see everybody getting a lot of likes, social media significance, fame on Instagram etc who are apparently very popular. That's one of the reasons why so many of us want to become bloggers, vlogger, and influencers. But in reality, a lot of lives get ruined when they get driven by significance and fame. Your 20's is the right age to keep learning more and keep getting better, build a strong future! So #1 advice is to stop chasing temporary fame. #2: Running after Shiny Objects! When you see advertising that tells you that you can make 100's of dollars each day, make easy money by sitting at home and become a billionaire, etc, you are lured to chase them. These are nothing but shiny objects that look good from the other side! They sell you on the dream but never share the reality. If you keep chasing that, you will be doing just that all through your 20's and eventually enter your 30's with a lot of frustration of not having reached anywhere. Making money is not a cake walk, and we all know it well! Always remember, if it's too good to be true, you need to stop, think and ask the question, it that true? There has to be a catch! Pause, think, let the emotion pass by and make the decisions rationally! #3: Acres of Diamond! Many a times, you have the entire mine of diamonds right next to you, but you either miss putting in your 100% to get the best out of it or stop believing in the future and stop putting in the efforts. Giving up just before achieving your goals is one of the biggest mistakes you can make in your 20's! Every field has an opportunity. We just see the glamorous side of the other field and keep jumping from one place to another. So get better at what you are doing and keep going on. Learning is a never-ending process after all! #4: Faking Experience! 20's is the right time to gain experience and not fake experience. What matter the most is the kind of practical knowledge you have and the kind of outcome you can get for the company you want to work for. "I know it all attitude" is the downfall of your career and growth! #5: Hanging Around with the wrong people! The power of 5 is where you become like the 5 people you hang out the most with. Hence, it is very important to surround yourself with the right kind of people and connect with the best mentors who can help you grow both personally and professionally. So, hope you avoid these top 5 mistakes in your 20's and shape a brighter, better and successful future by connecting with the right kind of people and mentors!
