From the closing piece of advice:
No matter where you are, make sure you're always growing on a personal level. Never sacrifice your personal growth for some "I'll make it if I only throw everything into it" martyrdom delusion. Successful people start successful businesses, and successful people are always growing.
As someone who is nearly 30, and still ridiculously confused about what I want out of life - does the above hold even if you abandon one form of personal growth for another?
- swombat 15y agoI am 30, and still fairly confused about what I want out of life. This advice is not prescriptive about what kind of growth you need. The point is, if you're not growing in some way, you're less likely to be successful. It's easy to fall into the fallacy of thinking that you can put your personal growth on hold to meet objective X, but objective X always takes 3x longer than you think, and if you put your life on hold for it, you probably won't meet objective X anyway. A saying comes to mind: Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were going to live forever.
