Episode 9: Things We've Learned in our 20's


Listen Later

Things I’ve Learned in my 20s (Whats the hurry??)
 
Start Taking Good Care Of Yourself Now
Health is the most important thing
Learned from my dad.
Want to be around for our kids
Goals for later in life
Be preventative
 
Everything Takes Time   
EVERYTHING. Rome wasn’t built in a day
Welcome to the slow and discouraging build
Those who can make it past the slow build will find the success everyone is after
Stay consistent and don’t give up
Gary V: Be a romantic about the journey and the process
Deploy patience and fall in love with the process
 
Your past doesn’t define you
Don’t cling to the goods or bads of your past.
Accomplishments
Addiction, depression and bad choices
 
You're Going To Feel Lost   
You are deciding what to do with the rest of your life
You are on your own
Constantly weighing pros and cons
Always go with your gut
 
Dreams Require Sacrifice  
Put in the time now
You aren’t missing anything at the bar
Get comfortable with being poor
Cut your ties with material things
 
Stop Caring What People Think
Love yourself and what they say won’t matter.
Know yourself and what you want enough to stop valuing others opinions
What they say is none of your business
Keep moving forward with you and your goals
 
Your reputation is everything. Uphold it with all you’ve got. 
Be a good person and stay true to your values
Love everyone
Kill with kindness
Remember that everything you type is a screenshot away from a public post
 
Embrace Failure  
Soak in the failure
This is what you will measure your life by
Success is made up of tackling failure after failure
Without it there would be no success
 
Assuming makes an ass out of you and me
Always be clear. MORE THAN CLEAR.
Make your intentions known.
If you don’t know the intentions of someone else just ask.
Grey areas are for suckers. When it comes to relationships with others, make sure all interaction leads to black and white.
 
Don't Compare Yourself To Others   
Everyone starts somewhere
If you are too busy focusing on someone 2 miles down the road you won’t even make it to the first mile marker.
All you can do is work your ass off and go after your vision
 
Don't Make Excuses, Apologize  
Be the bigger person 
Lose the pride. It will transform your life.
 
Things Don't Work Out For A Reason 
Your life is taking you exactly where you are meant to go
If something doesn’t work out it’s making room for something better
 
Invest In knowledge, Not Things  
Love of material things always ends badly
Invest in life long learning
Always strive to be better and learn more
 
Start learning financial literacy
Personal finance
Taxes
start a corporation for your business
Read financial books
 
You And Your Friends Will Change 
- In your 20s you are deciding who you want to be, and so are your friends
- Its not always going to be in the same direction and thats ok
-
Eliminate Negative People  
Even if they are your family
They have no place in your life if you are aiming for success and they are shooting you down.
 
Time Is Your Most Precious Resource  
Spend Less Time Staring At A Screen
Focus on family and real world activities  
Spend time on experiences
Realize in the moment that you will miss this time of your life.
 
Adopt A Dog
