At 22, you might feel the pressure to have it all figured out, just like I did. I remember sitting down and thinking, “How do I manage my money? What goals should I set?” If you’re feeling lost, you’re not alone!
“When you finally accept that it’s OK not to have answers and it’s OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.” – Winona Ryder
In one of my videos, I dive into some practical advice on financial literacy, goal-setting, and leadership to help you make the most of this pivotal time. It’s all about building a strong foundation for your future.
The turning point
I realized that understanding how money works is key. Without that knowledge, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Setting clear financial goals is crucial—like saving 20% of your income. This simple habit can set you up for success down the line! Psst— It’s been 16 years and I still do this!
What’s your “why”?
Finding your “burning why” can keep you motivated, even when procrastination creeps in. It’s about knowing what drives you and using that as fuel to push forward.
Leadership lessons
I’ve learned a lot about what makes a great leader. It’s not just about being in charge; it’s about being willing to sacrifice for your team and supporting those around you. This mindset will help you grow not just as a professional, but as a person too.
Quick takeaways
