Age 25 - 30 : The Great Filter

At age 25, is where you will start to notice the difference between you and other people in terms of what stages of life you are in.

When you’re under 25, even if you’re working really hard on yourself you won’t see much difference with your age group because there hasn’t been enough time for your hard work to compound into what you want it to be.

Around age 25 you could either be entering in a managerial position, whilst other 25 years olds are just getting their first entry job.

Around age 25, you could either be deciding if you want to move out (by choice) whilst others have no other choice but to stay at home with parents. 

Around age 25, you could be nearing your first £100K saved / invested whilst the others are just still getting a grasp on basic financial principles.

Around age 25, you will also start to notice who actually takes care of their physical body, and it gets even more noticeable the older you get. 

When you’re a teenager / early 20s you can do whatever you want and not face any consequences with your body. 

• You can recover from a hangover after a 3 hour nap 

• You can eat whatever you want and you’ll still be in shape

• If your parents love you a lot, they’ll happily continue to baby and look after you.

But then people hit 25 and everything will hits them like a ton of bricks.

They're seeing others getting all these big things whilst they’re wondering why they are still being treated like a 16 year old. 

This is what happens when you don’t take responsibility of your life EARLY. 

As you get older, it gets obvious at who were fucking around and wasting valuable time and it gets to a point where you can no longer relate to your old childhood friends. Even if you tried.

You can’t even book cool holidays together anymore because of awkward it is knowing your broke friends can’t afford to pay their half. 

Then it gets awkward when you start feeling mad uncomfortable sharing the good news about your career, business or finances because you know it will make the vibe super uncomfortable 

The message behind this post is that one of the best things you can do for yourself at an early age is plant the right seeds in your 20s and you will see the rewards with times 

You don’t realise the results of your compounding success until years later. That’s the tough part.

And as you get older, the gap gets W I D E R

Every 19 year old will have abs effortlessly, but it’s not the same when you’re 29 with abs.

Life is a series of choices, for better or worse.

When you are under 25, you’re judged on your potential. 

When you hit 28 - 30, you start being judged on your ACTUAL results in certain areas of your life.

Time will either MAKE your or BREAK you because you may think all these 'little habits' (Good or Bad) don't matter but on a long enough time scale, any decision you make on a consistent basis will have dramatic results.

You need to be investing in your earning ability. 

Your capacity to make money, is way more important that your salary at your first entry level position.

This is why I AM SO BIG on reinvesting money back into YOU or what you are building.

Your ability to make money is greater than any stock, crypto or real estate investment.

I genuinely cannot stress how important this is for you.

Your 20s are the time to attack life with vengeance and build the life that you authentically and genuinely want. It's not easy, and few actually succeed at this.

Make sure you are one of them.
