What would you tell yourself at 18?
  • You don't know anything.
  • Expand your timeframe to 10 years into the future.
    • YES, you WILL be 28 at some point.
    • Play the long game. Don't aim for small profits today.
  • Train as hard as you can.
  • Read everything you can get your hands on.
  • Max out education, be the biggest nerd.
  • Do not speak about your goals, do not ask for advice from anyone that is not a successful entrepreneur.
  • Develop discipline and work ethic.
  • Clean your room daily.
  • You are the only one responsible for you life.
    • Blaming any other person or any other thing for the outcome of your life is max loser behavior, it can't get worse than that.
    • Being in charge of your life means you can do anything you want, and be everything you want.
    • Today's actions will create the future.

The list is endless.
These are just the top 10 items on the top of my mind.

To sum it up:
  • Take full ownership of everything in you life, because you are the maker of your destiny.
  • Work as hard as you can to develop your skills.



Note:

I was speaking to my former 18 year old self. I cannot guarantee that the same advice would be good advice for your particular situation.
