If you could give advice to your younger self, what would it be?
Hindsight is 20/20, but what have you learned?
I would say have more fun. Do the things I wanted to do and not be afraid just because you think you'll fail.
I would tell her to trust that her interests and passions are there to guide her down the right path, so embrace them completely and dive right in! 💕 Also that there's no need to doubt mixed messages about whats right - trusting your own gut and wisdom can be the most important guidepost, no matter what the "norm" is!! Thank you for this thoughtful question!
Start building career skills as early as possible
I would tell myself to finish my degree right out of high school. Going back in my mid-30’s with a husband, a full time job, and a 3 year old was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. If you’re going, go when you’re young and have no attachments/less responsibilities. I preach this CONSTANTLY to my now 13-year old.
Not when you can't find rent that's affordable you can't.( Move)
I would definitley tell myself that I should save and tell my self to stay posted on this site.
Job hop thoughtfully, but not recklessly
Looking back in time the advice I would have giving to myself is trust & believe in myself. It took me a long time to believe in myself to start my own company. After working hard for others who didn’t see the potential I offered. I decided it was time to start my own business and glad I did. Wish I did it sooner.
"Reality is for people who can't handle drugs" was the old battle cry. How about a chilling double feature for all you wild and crazy kids: Requiem for a Dream and Drugstore Cowboy, that's my take..
Great question Mike! I'm an old man now and everything turned out alright, but if I could change anything I would've never got mixed up with drugs, I feel like they took 10 years of my life that I can't get back, that's my advice to everyone!
