EP 146 My Advice to my Younger self with Brandon T. Adams

I had a 17-year-old named Austin Gray ask me: what advice would you give me after everything you have learned the past few years? What do you wish you had done differently? Well, there are multiple things that went through my mind and there were many things that I did wrong over the past few years, but those mistakes are what led me to where I am today. The first response I gave Austin was this: “Find someone who has already achieved what you want to achieve and follow in their footsteps. Learn from them and create your own path of success. Add value to them and ask them if you can help them. See if they would be your mentor and in return you can do whatever is needed of them. Work for free, but really it’s not for free. While working for them you will get the best education you could ever get and gain their respect. Over time they will value you and introduce you to others. It just takes one introduction from that person to open doors for you that could make you millions. Being associated with other successful and prestige people will raise the credibility of yourself. And also, you are the average of the 5 people that you hang out with. If you want to become a billionaire you need to hang out with other billionaires.”
