18 Things I Would Do At 18:
I was a dumb 18-year-old. I thought I had the world figured out. I didn't.
I stayed up till the wee hours. Drank every liquor invented.
Partied non-stop. Woke up after noon.
Surfed the web aimlessly.
Read BS self-help.
Repeat.

If I could do it all over again, here's 18 things I would do...
PHASE ONE: GET MY MIND RIGHT
ACTION #1: Break the chains - I wish I made the decision earlier. I didn't. I was scared. Anxious. Nervous. I knew once I made the decision, there was no going back.
Don't be like me.

Make the decision at 18. The decision to pave your own path in life. To go against the herd. To choose your own adventure. To commit to whatever sets your heart on fire.

In commerce, you either need people to sell your shit or build your shit.
If you know how to do both, you become a machine who can print money at will.

ACTION #10: Find a wolf-pack to howl with.
Ideally people who are a few steps ahead of you.

ACTION #11. Make a list of everything that scares the living fuck out of you.
Conquer each.

PHASE FIVE: Do's and Dont's

And you won't have nothing going.
ACTION #13: Don't become a self-help junkie.

ACTION #13: Don't become a self-help junkie.
Only pick up a book if you need help solving a problem.
Stop reading for the sake of accumulating knowledge you think you'll use "one-day."
Any worthwhile skill is learned in the trenches.
Not inside a book.
ACTION #14: Do take long walks every day.
Morning or evening.

Another trap.
ACTION #17: Do make time for fun.
Self-explanatory.

ACTION #18: Do live fast and hard. And fuck up as many times as you can before you turn 20, 25, 30, 50, 75, 105 and die. For fucking up is a privilege reserved for the bold. Most people drift and play it safe. They never give themselves the luxury of fucking up.
