    For a man, I feel like that late 20's into 30 is where we start to mature and really work on ourselves. For me, I was at my rock bottom from 25-29 as I worked a minimum wage job, had a gf that didn't have as much drive as me and we only saw each other as roommates, and had parents who were constantly worrying how I would live life. I studied my ass off during those years because I knew I was the only one who could change the course and outcome of my life. Now, I am a software engineer, making money my parents dreamed of and it's just the beginning. If anyone is out there, especially as a man, who is feeling alone and struggling, know that I've/we've been there and possibly still there, and it's okay. What's not okay is to push off that feeling of "I gotta make a move". Start today, right now. No excuses. We got this💪

    Summary:
    1. Start investing sooner both in your relationships and your skills
    2. Stop telling so many lies
    3. Skip college or at a minimum simply learn how to learn on your own
    4. Cultivate your inner circle with intention and care
    5. Put on that sunscreen
    I still highly recommend watching the video in its entirety as it contains valuable information and insights that cannot be fully captured in this summary

Especially now in the Instagram age, everybody thinks that you should have multi million dollar success by the age of 22 or 23! And they treat you like you’re nothing if you don’t.

    I just turned 21 and honestly this video was exactly what I needed. Ever since I started college I've felt incredibly lost. It's like trying to get to a destination with no map and with everyone pointing you in a direction you're slowly beginning to realize is the hardest, longest route to where you want to be. My ahdh brain has been a scramble mess, but I've been slowly learning the game these past two years and getting more confident at it. The part about investing in relationships and cultivating your inner circle really struck a cord with me. Problem is when you realize all these important things extremely early on, you're thinking on a whole different wavelength than a large majority your peers and it can get pretty darn lonely. I don't think it's something talked about very often, but eh, honestly what do I know? I'm still figuring it out as I go.

    Something you may have not considered is when you were in your 20's, the access to educational resources (such as Google, UA-cam, and just the WW web in general) was vastly constrained compared to what we take for granted today in 2022. Today we have access to all the knowledge mankind has ever acquired literally in the palm of our hand that anyone can call up 24x7x365. Today's youth cannot conceive of how much time and effort and money it took in the 70's and 80's to obtain knowledge on any topic, and when you actually did find something it was more often than not out-of-date. But, even with all that learning power there for the taking, totally free of charge, it still takes a positive and proactive attitude and hundreds of hours of work and dedication and actual participation to obtain a payoff for the future.

    • @AnthonyVicino
      @AnthonyVicino  2 роки тому +38

      This is a great point. My dad and I talk frequently about the fact that if he'd had access to knowledge and resources I have back in the 80s, his life would've played out fundamentally differently. We're blessed to be living during this time and to have access to the opportunities we do.

      Funnily enough even though I agree with this sentiment, I usually counter with the statement that the vast amount of knowledge available to my generation also makes it easier to get "analysis by paralysis". Before the internet age, the problem was getting information. In today's era, the problem is getting the RIGHT INFORMATION. Also, the technology in this generation also saps the attention span of the youth as companies make sure that their fancy algorithms make sure that you are glued to your screens. So yes, that does not discount the amount of hard, smart and consistent work to achieve certain things.

    The last few months so many part of my ego died, and I've come to realize and overcome so much trauma and defense mechanism and self-delusions. I have no network and for the first time since a decade I feel really lonely. Like I feel it physically. But maybe I'll make something of myself, although it's rough to believe with my track record.

Last summer I grew tired of being stuck and making the same mistakes and jumping from job to job that I decided to go to college. Although I think college is a scam, it’s helped me tremendously with my self esteem, making clear goals, and being completely honest with myself. I’m sad that it took so long to get myself going, but so excited I’m finally going in what seems to be the right direction.

    Man my first job I got when I was 23. I know that was crazy but my work ethic got the attention of an engineer who needed help. (I was going to school at the time for engineering). The job is amazing. I'm an engineer now for the US government. Best job anyone can ask for. The dream everyone in my town wants and here I am.. now that I'm here I realize this isn't what I want. I'm 28 now. I am about to start my own business and hopefully I can pour all my energy into it and see it flourish. But everything this man says is true. Only reason I'm at where I'm at is because all the engineers I work for taught me things. My circle was strong. They're all millionaires because they have the side hustles. Sometimes I think about being 28 and getting older but I'm on my way. Just have to do what you have to do.

    People aren't machines and you don't need to be productive all the time, so much that you're miserable a lot and stop having fun, you should take it easy, and also, being busy isn't the same as being productive.

    Thanks for sharing these. I felt like I “lost” a lot of my twenties due to a prescription medicine (taken as prescribed) which was slowly poisoning my brain (and body). 10 year injury in total (so far). And it’s so easy to look back and feel regret, anger, longing. But there’s still the time ahead. There’s still so much to be grateful for, and I feel very lucky in many ways. Not everyone makes it past their twenties. Not everyone has freedom. I think reflecting on past times and recognising our regrets also helps set the compass going forward too. So to anyone reading this who’s maybe felt regret…perspective and gratitude can be real game changers in finding peace, and finding the right path forward for you.

    I am Venezuelan, 27, i have a computer science degree, I came to the states about 4 years ago. About 2.5 years ago I got my work authorization.
    I feel so behind to other people my age, I know I shouldn't compare myself but I did waste a lot of time while being in Venezuela, although. I studied English and completed my degree I think I could have learned or do many more things. However, the situation over there didn't help much that is why I am here.
    I was able to start a 65k/year job about 1.5 years ago with my degree. Waayy more money that I thought I could even see or think of while being in Venezuela. However, I feel like trapped in this cycle of get paid, "save", pay credit card at the end of the month then have about 500 left. And the cycle repeats. I pay all my expenses with my Credit Card though.
    I will love to break that cycle somehow and actually open a food truck or anything within the cooking area since that is something I love to do and everybody I ever sold or cooked something for have told me I am a great cook.
    Long story short, I think I make decent money living in Tulsa, OK but can't seem to be able to save up to start a business.
    Sorry for the long message, but i started typing and it helps to type stuff out to not feel frustrated lol.

      Dude, what a badass story! Forget feeling behind other people, you're crushing it. Seriously. When I was 27, I was making $40k a year in the bay area. It sucked!
      First thing that stands out to me is you're making $65k /year while living in a relatively inexpensive city (Tulsa). This tells me you've probably fallen prey to lifestyle creep (or you've got a bunch of kids you didn't tell us about).
      If I were you, my first step would be to ruthlessly cut expenses.
      Second, I would take on a side-hustle to start generating more money.
      Your goal is to save as much as possible on lifestyle and then invest that money into learning and growing your skills.
      If you want to start a foodtruck, maybe start by going to farmers markets, or sporting events and have a food cart. Figure out a cheap, delicious, easy to make and transport snack/meal and then get out there and start selling.
      I got a friend who did this with a hot dog stand. He'd sell hundreds of hot dogs at sporting events, concerts, etc..
      If you want it bad enough (and I think you do), you'll find a way to make it work. Now get to it!

I will go for those steps then, I did sell food from my apartment for about 10 month and it was great lots of people but then I was afraid of taking the next step of a food trailer and kind of let it go even though I loved it.

    I am still in my teens🥺, and I have a lot of things to learn. Even I want to make a video " My teenage regrates... " 🙃.When I get a bit upset in my journey, I watch you and your videos, it completely lightens me up and makes me start again. You are really amazing.

    I'm exactly in the same spot as you were.. I'm currently enduring all the regrets you're mentioning.

      I empathize, man. First step towards correcting the issue is to become aware of it, so you're on the right path.

    Wish I would have saved a lot of the video games I've played for later, not all of them though. World of Warcraft, should have quit when everyone else did that's for certain. Could have put that into making money and friends as well. At the same time I really like where I'm at now I have a good way forward selling online right now. Definitely agree, salads are so important and for those of you who have a decent sized belly cutting refined carbs out completely for awhile and then never eating a lot of them will be a big help as well as sugar. Also if you can eat them, eggs are a lot higher in protein than meat.

      Dude, I played a toooon of video games when I was younger. Loved it, but it really didn't move me forward in life. I put games down a couple years back (ended with Destiny), and it's been one of the best decisions ever.

    Great video. I’m 23, got a job at a big 4 accounting firm currently studying for the ACA, I never went to university, I joined straight from school on an apprenticeship. I always worry whether I’m improving on myself at a good rate, but for me it’s taking everything into perspective, and as long as I’m making steady, sustainable progression of my career then I’m not doing too bad for my 20s.
