Honestly, I'm not sure my undergrad time was worth it as I did it. The mentoring, the writing, the spiritual work, yes, 80 credits of writing classes. All good.
But afterwards I took about two years of advanced computer classes in office, graphic design and programming for a tenth of the cost. Temping and those classes were a truly great and varied education in business and professionalism. That was worth it. I would have combined the two, maybe been a part time student instead.
Education is my third career, I could've started earlier and I wish I'd started my media business ten years earlier because I have to create so much content. That and a mastermind group, I just joined one here in NYC again. I would have a bigger, deeper cv to convert. I feel like I am playing 2-3 year catch up.
The royalties and business hiccups I manage now should've been over a handful of years ago but I didn't know how to carve my own path.
Principles in action faster:
- Work to learn, not earn
- Dump toxic people.
- Put more into the marketplace, experiment earlier and more.
- Learn hard skills as priority and softer ones alongside them.
- Plan and plot years out in 1,3, 5 like I do now.
Different friends, more ambitious people. I found out a lot I was the most motivated. I would have stated criteria for friendship, I was too frivolous and arbitrary.
Planned long-term.
- Don't get me wrong, I'm doing okay now and it's getting better but I think a lot on wasted time.
- I think about five years were not focused on my adult needs.
- Tony Robbins personal power 2 cds helped immensely undergrad, I would have done it more, monthly. I got results but I didn't change friends for about four years so I spent time mired in drama.
- I would trust my own ruthlessness if that makes sense.
- I've been compassionate as a fault, a disease to please. It took maybe ten years as an adult to sit with a therapist and unravel.
- Ok,ok 1 year therapy, part time college, full time work, tech classes, mommy money, clean friend house in that order would've gotten me to productivity now level ten years ago.
Now I understand how to use my past as barometer that's something that is uncomfortable because you're piloting blindfolded so trusting my own instincts took too much time. Now I can say I'm smart enough to be sure of my sense of most things. I'm confident in my own wisdom.
Smile, Kyle
