Goon50 pieces of advice i would give to my 20-year-old self
As I turned 57, I couldn't help but reflect on the lessons I've learned throughout my life. If I could go back in time and give advice to my 20-year-old self, here are the 50 things I would say:
Take a minute to think about the advice you would give to your younger self
Work on Your Willpower
Number one, work on your willpower. You'll never reach your full potential or outwork your rivals if you can't focus for long periods of time. This was true when I was younger, and it's even more applicable now with so many distractions fighting for your attention.
Developing willpower is key to achieving success
Become a Producer, Not a Consumer
Number two, become more of a producer than a consumer. I understand consuming content is key, especially if you learn a lot. However, you should always be trying to put more out into the world than you're taking. Otherwise, you'll end up robbed of your time and attention.
Create more than you consume to achieve success
The rest of the advice falls into various categories, including productivity, relationships, personal growth, and more.
