What would you tell your younger self?

Recently I came across a post from NFL football player and Portland native, Ndamukong Suh. He said knowing what I’ve learned now and what it takes to be a success, if he knew he wouldn’t make it to the NFL and needed to find a new path, what would he tell his younger self?

  1. Build Relationships with purpose. Don’t be afraid to find mentors. Everybody needs a guide. Align yourself with like minded peers, who have long term goals that match yours. Hard work gets you ahead, if it’s shared with the right people.
  2. Become self sustainable. Freedom is defining your own future. If you’re in debt or hitching your success to someone else, that choice disappears. Take help when needed, but make sure you aren’t totally relying on others to achieve your goals.
  3. Be passionate about what you do. Find something you’d love doing, even without the paycheck. Would you wake up excited and committed to do this thing if you weren’t worrying about money? For me, this would be construction.
  4. Have an employer mindset. Start as an employee, become an employer. The jump from employee to employer is the gap between a paycheck and ownership. If you focus on the employer mindset from the start, you’ll be learning everything you need to make that move.
  5. Integrity above all else. Integrity is about reliability, follow through, and execution. Be reliable and eventually you’ll become invaluable. Follow through on your promises and you’ll be trusted. Execute well and you’ll get more responsibility.
  6. Patience in all aspects of life. This was the greatest lesson from my time with Buffett. I was a very impatient youth until I realized it’s the long term that matters. Being patient means being forward thinking, living in the present to plan for the future.
