People in their early 20s are invariably weird.

If you want to experience abundance, then don't choose a path that ensures scarcity or limitation. Choose a path that has a shot of leading to prosperity. Say no to non-prosperous choices like a job with a fixed paycheck.

I got screwed over in some bad business deals, but as long as I focused on those past problems, I couldn't move forward. I had to let all of that go and forgive everyone and everything first.

Achieving meaningful goals requires that you commit your entire ass, not just one cheek.

Realize that you earn income by providing value - not time - so find a way to provide your best value to others, and charge a fair price for it.

Network selectively. Nothing says "business newbie" like shotgun networking. "You never know when someone might say yes" is marketing for dummies. Take the time to build a profile of your ideal customers, and target your networking activities to reach them. Speak to those who are already predisposed to want what you offer. Almost any profile is better than "anyone with a pulse."

Passion and purpose go hand in hand. When you discover your purpose, you will normally find it's something you're tremendously passionate about.
