Top 4 Mistakes People Make in their 20s

Your 20s is the important time of your life. It shapes you, makes you and even sometimes breaks you. Do you have what it takes to become a great success? Or will you live out a

Your 20s may be the most important decade of your life.

life of mediocrity? The choice is up to you. While many think they have all the answers and the keys to success, we have seen those people make the same pitfalls too many times before, and here are the top 4…

1). Falling In Love

Your love life is an investment so treat it as such ! While all of your friends are doing it; falling in love, getting married and starting families. Don’t fall into the trap of a relationship, this time is crucial for personal development and self growth, you can’t waste energy on the needs of another individual.

2). YOLO (You only live once)

A life of partying, heavy drugs and pretty much having that YOLO attitude will leave between a rock and a hard place . Get focused and find what you’re supposed to be doing. If you don’t know what that is, then you better figure it out ASAP.

3).Working For Money

Always look to for future compensation and never expect immediate compensation. Success is a journey and won’t find success working in a retail store so instead, invest in yourself and your future. Working just to get by should not be the only goal you have for your life.

4). You are who your friends are

Like my mother always said: “Birds of a feather flock together”. You are who your friends are, so make sure you surround yourself with like-minded people as yourself. Make sure your friends have goals and doing something with their lives.The only individuals you should be surrounding yourself with are those that challenge your ideas and motivate you to find the next solution to your problems.
