Here is What I Would Do Differently (If I Was 18 Again)
This is Going to Sound Crazy…
These streets remind me of quicksand
When you’re on it, you’ll keep going down
And there’s no one to hold on to
And there’s no one to pull you out
You keep on falling, no one can hear you calling
So you end up self-destructing.
Akon’s lyrics on his most iconic song “Ghetto”.
Words that remain true to this very day.
And, let’s be real…
That’s what happen when you live this life without a proper guidance and real OGs around you.

My point?
You absolutely need someone who knows the game.
The one who has a thick skin in this game called LIFE!
And this is why this article is for you.
It’s going to give a roadmap of what you should do to put all odds in your favor.
I’m in my mid 30’s now.
And, This is what I would do differently if I was 18 again.
Here is What I Would Do Differently
Learn How To Sell
I wish I learned this earlier.
Nothing changes someone’s life fast than sales.
Learning how to sales should be a non negotiable thing if you want to change the course of your life.
Sale will gives you a constant cash flow, improves your entire personality and connects you with resourceful human beings on earth.
The story of my life?
I made over $54k in just 2024. And so can you!
So quit sitting on the sidelines.
Invest in yourself and learn how to close the deals.
You will never be the same.
Take Advantage Of The internet
Yeah, you just read it right.
I would also never sleep on this golden opportunity.
Let’s be real…
Internet has leveled up the playing field.
We have zero excuses now.
It has never been easier to learn resourceful stuffs and making money off it.
While countless of your peers are wasting their time playing video games and Netflixing
You just have to move differently.
Build a personal brand off it. Learn how to code, programming and others important jobs.
Hit the Gym 3–5x a Week.
Are you honestly going to argue about it?
Basically you CAN’T.
I wish I learned this earlier.
Something this generation don’t seem to understand is this..
Hitting the gym 3–5x a week literally solves 95% of our modern day problems.
Whoever trying to tell you differently is lying.
Look…
Gym will boosts your entire confidence, shape your personality, helps in stress management, better sleep and increase your muscle strength.
Say No Without Much Explanations
Learning how to say No to the things that don’t align with my purpose without explaining myself it is something I wish I learned sooner in life.
And that comes from someone who has been there and done that.
I know how powerful it is once a person starts prioritizing this philosophy.
Saying No to Bs is how you take back control and regain your personal authority to things and people that just use you.
Saying no is an essential aspect of establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries in your personal and professional life. By communicating your limits, you create a space that respects your well-being and prevents burnout. It sets the stage for more fulfilling and balanced relationships

2 Hours Deep Work is Better Than Unfocused 8hrs
Doesn’t get spoken enough how social media has singlehandedly been ruining this generation.
We are now at a stage where attention span is at all time low than ever.
Reason? internet.
So, In a world full of distractions and breaking news in every 5 seconds..
Having a culture of staying locked in and doing some few hours deep work will maximize your productivity 10x better.
Listen to this,
A 2–4 hours of deep and focused work can have you accomplish more than 8–12 hours of unfocused one.
That’s how you stay ahead of the curve.
