Advice would you give the fifteen year old you? Oh boy! That is tough. Now I have to immediately guess that any advice that I would give my fifteen year old you, would revolve around planning for the future and avoiding mistakes. Unfortunately, most of the mistakes I made were related to stuff my parents already warned me about.

So, I don’t know how effective that would be. But, this is a tough question and I hope you will think about it for yourself. And, leave a comment of the video too. I would love to hear what your thoughts are. I’m sure it’s some great advice we can all share with each other.
So, if I had to boil it down to one thing that I know my parents didn’t tell me about and that I might of actually entertained. Because that’s about the age where you start thinking about money and jobs and college and all that stuff. And supporting relationships.Supping up cars and buying video games or whatever. It would be on how to make money and secure my future. And at the time you know, computers were not so wide spread. We didn’t have smart phones. The internet was in it’s infancy.But, the idea of creating things and putting them out there on the internet was there.
I make web pages. I went to the BBS, the bulletin board services. I did things that were on the internet and could have been useful to people. Could have made money or at least build skills for the future. So if I had to go back and talk to my fifteen year old me it would be, hey dude start trying to write books. Start making courses. Learning audio, learning video, learning business, learning strategy. Reading the business books that were well written by that time and available. Using the library’s free resources to get up to speed on that and just making stuff. Assets that I would have to do one time but that could add value to the world and to my future forever!
By the time I’m the age I am now, thirty-five, I would have had untold number of books, videos, courses, websites. Business throngs and sources that I’m positive that I would be much more well off. That my family would be much more well off. I’d be able to help out much more in the community and in society. And plenty of the goals that I have would be much closer to fruition. And you know, level up, level up, level up. So, that’s my answer off the cuff. Sorry if it was kind of wordy. What’s your answer? Share below please. I wanna know. I wanna learn. Thanks for watching, bye.
