Learn that failure is a part of growing. I would stop procrastinating.

I’d invest in myself, take more risks, and enjoy the journey, not just the goal.

# Network Like Your Future Depends On It (Because It Does)
Building a strong network is crucial. I’d actively seek out mentors, attend industry conferences, join entrepreneurial clubs, and participate in hackathons. It’s not just about who you know, but who knows you. Networking opens doors, provides guidance, and often leads to opportunities you never imagined.

Skip college, work 100s a week live at home for 5 years and go all in on Apple and Microsoft after the cotton bubble crash.

I’d be more reckless. It’s very important for personality development.

Took seriously my construction job I had and never let temptation ruin the path I was on with all the things I’ve finally had going for myself. I’ll be back more sooner than later since it’s been a minute now but i could’ve been ahead already. More further in life than where I am now. I had it going quick progressively changing then it was ruined even quicker.

Probably a bit late by then, but should have gone to college and Uni, I enjoyed engineering just not the class room environment, I’m further down the rungs of the ladder and behind in my engineering career now,

Stop people pleasing immediately.
Socialise better ie not just drunk nights out with colleagues – I don’t remember a single conversation years later, so was all a pointless waste of time talking nonsense.
Would be much better spent working on goals.
Lastly, follow your gut, it’s always been right. Sociopaths will gaslight you that you’re being rash or odd but mine was never wrong.

I’d keep a workout routine and be more gentle with myself and live, life is not a grind it’s an adventure. Life has mysterious ways dont restrict yourself too much or stress have faith that things will workout as long as you follow the causes. I’d read books that teach not only skills but wisdom like “The richest man in Babylon” and good books out there. There is two ways to learn years of experimenting and experiences or learning from someone’s years of trying and experiences.
Don’t waste your time with people who don’t understand you, they’ll get it one day. Your parents probably don’t know what’s best for you. People don’t know what’s best for you. You know yourself best if you try to twist yourself into something else to please people it’ll come back to haunt and damage your health so might as well follow your own path. No one is gonna live the consequences of advice they give you. So you’ll have to pick and choose what you listen to
That’s what I’d tell myself

I’ll change my course from philosophy into software engineering. Then invest in crazy things like Bitcoin and stocks. 😁😁😁

Venture into the freelancing industry early, invest into the now winning stocks/bonds/crypto and read lots of self dev book
BUT, I had almost no success outside of getting a great salaried job, until I learned marketing.
If you can move someone’s eyes, you can sell them literal poop. **I would go with marketing.**
Learn organic, and paid methods!

Drinking. It didn’t make me cool nor did I make friends. I just developed a nasty addiction till about 2 years ago that held me back from my life.

Left my ex before we got married.
Traveled instead of buying a house at that age.
I think those are the two biggest ones that would have changed some key things about my life. Although my ex is kind of the reason I got into the tech field, so not sure where I would’ve ended up if we’d broken up after only 3 years…

Focus on getting clients with a consistent process. Rest will follow. Do not fall for all that startup focused business BS online. Bootstrap as long as you can. Do not waste time with multi billion dollar world changing ideas. Start small, scale later.

That almost any idea can be made successful if it’s done right and marketing is a super important thing to master.
