MM 220 - Five Things I'd Tell My 20-Year-Old Self
One of my youngest clients just turned 20 and asked our Diamond Effect Group a question that stopped me in my tracks: "What advice would you give your 20-year-old self?"
Her question got me thinking about all the things I wish I'd known back then - the mindset shifts, the courage I needed, and the shortcuts I could have taken if someone had just told me the truth about success.
In this episode, I'm sharing the five pieces of advice that would have changed everything for younger me. And honestly? These apply whether you're 20, 40, or 60.
Your age doesn't determine your potential - your willingness to act on what you know does.
Five things I would tell my 20-year-old self, one of my youngest clients just turned 20 and he asked our group for advice we would give our younger selves, which was so mature of him to do so. It got me thinking, what would I tell 20-year-old Maggie? Here are five things that would've changed.
Everything. First, don't let your limiting beliefs tell you what you cannot or cannot do. If you want something, go after it. No matter what brain is telling you people like you can do it, don't believe the preconceived notions. Or beliefs that were instilled in you by others. Second, you don't need to know everything ahead of time.
You don't need to be a hundred percent qualified to start. You'll figure things out as you go just like everyone else does. Third ask for help. I was such a me, me, me. I need to do it all by myself, person, which comes from my upbringing. So the advice would be stop trying to figure everything out on your own.
That's always the hardest way. People love to help, especially successful people. They remember how hard it was and they wanna share their wisdom. So learn from it. Be a sponge forth. Now is the time to take the risks and do scary things. It gets harder as you get older when you have more commitments and responsibilities like kids mortgage and other things that make you wanna play it safe.
And fifth. Be bold. Be unapologetically you. Don't be scared to show up as yourself and don't worry what other peoples will think. It's not your job to make them happy. Please them. Your twenties are not for playing small. They're for dreaming big and going after those dreams with everything you've got. So now I would love to know, what would you tell your 20-year-old self.
