Hello Steemians. Its your girl @princessebi writing you all again. You know that saying "Catch them young", it means a whole lot. When you're younger, you tend to think faster and better. You're still fit and strong to hustle hard unlike when you're old and weak. My post today will be directed at steps every young individual in their 20's should take into proper consideration.
Develop a good source of income.
When you start early, you become independent. You don't depend on anyone for financial support all the time. Four years in the university and out doesn't guarantee anyone 100% a good source of income. There are lots of handwork to learn and help yourself with instead of waiting on your certificate to fetch you a white collar job with a fat salary. I am a final year student and I'm also a hair stylist and a seamstress, I assist myself with in when we're in academic session and my mum gets surprised when she calls and I tell her I have some cash on me. There are lots of side jobs and handwork you can develop income from when you're in your 20s.Turn into multiple stream.
When you have a handwork, you can set it into a business. Probably by opening your own shop and selling other things in it too. That way, you'll be earning more money from different sources.Invest In Yourself.
Build your creativity, work more in yourself. Read good books that will boost your productivity.Avoid getting into debts.
If the money you have on you isn't enough to purchase a product, then leave it except the product is very important and you're 100% sure you will pay of that debt the previous day. Getting one debt will lead to getting another debt and at the end, you'll suffer great loss. Don't get used to owing people.Never stop learning.
Everyday is an opportunity to learn a new thing. Everybody you come in contact with knows something you don't. You can even learn an ethic from a little child. Don't stop learning. Open your mind to new things and new possibilities everyday.Save money and invest it.
A young boy in my department told my account lecturer that he wants to buy shares in the bank. My lecturer was perplexed at such an awesome idea coming from a boy of 19. He's earning better now. Debts will only eat up your income. Invest instead of spending more.
Mark Zuckerberg stated facebook when he was just 19 and now he's 29 years. The guy responsible for Tumblr is David Karp, he founded this company early and now he's 27. Rent the Runway was created by
Jennifer Carter Fleiss and Jennifer Hyman. Their company allows women rent clothes for 4-8 days and they are both 29 years of age. Quora, a website for questions and answers was founded by Adam D'Angelo and now he's in his 20's(29 years). There are lots of so many successful people out there both home and abroad started early in their 20's. When you're younger, your brain thinks faster and your head will be with fresh thoughts. You can't depend on your patents and family or survival all the time. Yoyr families money is theirs, you should try and make yours.
