Here’s 21 lessons that changed my life, that you can use today to get outsized returns for your age.
1.) Read Self Help BooksMake the shift, and read the compound effect, especially if you’re still stuck in a 9-5 mentality
2.) Go to the gym everyday I’ve been to almost every large commercial gym in America, and grown an obsession with the gym. It’ll save you a lot of stress.
3.) Get in a sauna A quiet time to organize loose plans, and wandering thoughts
4.) Get an official mentor I met Mike Ashabi, and John Senecal when I was 17, and they taught me the foundations of business and financial independence
5.) Travel the United StatesJust get in a car, sleeping in the car and drive with your best friend. Thanks Parker Hardison for unlocking this part of my brain
6.) Caffeine is a magical pill I do need to cut back, but my biggest returns on time spent working have been when I was under the influence of some solid caffeine drink.
7.) Make content everyday I post a lot, a lot of people unfollow, and a lot of my posts go completely nowhere. Especially when I spent 8+ hours on them. Document your journey, eventually they’ll care.
8.) Write + Publish 1 BookI’ve done this 4 times, and again hardly anyone’s read my books, but to unlock a skillset like this requires completing the feedback loopWriting < Editing < Publishing < Sales
9.) Facebook Groups are the Key If Facebook doesn’t exist in 5-10 years, there will be an equivalent platform, but it’s the easiest way to:- Find an apartment - Find deals - Find friends - Find contractors
10.) Envy is good I am behind. For 21 years of age I’m not where I want to be. I envy the kids who are leaps and bounds ahead of me. It’s a driving factor
11.) Get abs They’re nice, and they’re easy to maintain
12.) Friends are forever I have a couple people who’ve been there since literal day 1, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world
13.) Your family knows youWhen you post on social media acting like something you’re not, your family will step in. Don’t reject this advice, they know you, and want to help
14.) Partying is okay Business teaches that you shouldn’t go out and live life, but I’ve done both extremes, and frankly I like partying (at least for now)
15.) Dropout of College I’ve done this 3X, and I’m still playing out the scenario in real time to see which life is better. Right now, I’m further ahead without school. We will see in 10 years
16.) Try everything once Except for crack. Don’t do that ever.
17.) Alone doesn’t equal lonely Learn to be alone, and enjoy it. You’re the only one with YOU every second between now and death.
18.) Wake up at 5AMYou’ll feel amazing
19.) Make your own money Doesn’t need to be millions of dollars, but show yourself you can independently earn an income, it’s real freedom.
