I just discovered this thing called Roadtrip Nation today, and it’s actually pretty cool — a bunch of kids going around the country interviewing successful people and learning from them.
Key takeaways from just these four video clips,
- You have to be prepared to die trying (as 50 cent would say, “get rich or die trying”)
- You have to be OK with failing
- Be true to yourself, find your passion. You may not see the immediate impact, so it’s a matter of staying focused, searching inside of yourself, and believing in yourself that you can do it
- Leaps of faith and terrifying, but you have got to leap
- Ask yourself what is the worse that could happen — more often than not your world will not come to an end like you thought it would
- Worrying about the future won’t help. Find your calling, and just do it. Don’t overanalyze.
- Use your time to make mistakes while you are young, the world is your oyster. The key is to learn from your previous successes and mistakes, and taking those experiences to your next challenge
- Make the most with what you have, you are ultimately accountable for your own success
Plenty of good ol’ advice from all these video clips. Unfortunately I don’t have the luxury to watch them all at the moment, I got a tonne of stuff to wrap up before my upcoming backpacking trip to Europe
