Outside of the obvious, I would have to say I'd tell my younger self to buy toilet paper company stock prior to 2020

Dear 2019 self, go build tools for remote work. And make a comfortable workspace at home, because that 2 weeks of remote work is more like 2ish years...
I mean outside of the "buy this stock" it's focus on a very very specific problem that a few people would love if it's solved.
@between_team Any ideas on what that problem would be? 🧐
Dear me young, put your happiness first:) Spot putting so much focus on how your actions are making others feel, and worry more about yourself. 😇
I would tell my younger self what he needs to know.
When people need information. Regarding where for sure, why, how to.
And who to contact so you can do it. Where you can be kinder to yourself.
Find out where there is virtually no competition and begin your journey. Being found with help of people googling on the world wide web.

Invest in your relationships, later down the road you're going to need some help
I would 100% tell myself to invest more in friendships and to be intentional about keeping up with people.
I would also tell myself that things like my SAT score, and my GPA are far less important in my professional life than I could ever have imagined.
@deeblekpantha If only I understood how little grads and test scores would matter. No one cares a hot minute after graduating.

I would tell myself to work on something a little bit each day. It is amazing how much a little bit of work compounds over months or even years.
You can handle more than you can imagine. No matter how much it feels like it in the moment, trust me, it's not the end of you.
Dear Younger Self,
Nothing comes easy. Avoid the comfort zone. Take delight in hard work. Success is not an end goal. Growth's unending.
Love,
Today's Self 😇
@bibim_banez Avoid the comfort zone... yes. I feel like Michele captures it perfectly here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/m...
Take risks, but take them fast.
Learn fast, Fail fast.
But primarily, I wish I knew how to make money online at 17 itself.
Dear younger me take new challenges and worst situations as an opportunity for your growth.
I would tell my younger work self to be ok with my own boundaries and it's not rude to enforce them
Launching soon!
I would say, you are doing the right thing. Just keep going.

Hi Young me,
Take some risks and start-up. Why are you in your comfort zone?
'Work and beer' over and over without any aim is killing you. Do this 30 years later may be. Actually, not even then. Never do it.
The app and service we're working on is for stock/futures/forex/crypto traders and we have a big (16,000 members) Discord community where the action is at. I've noticed when we startedthe influx of new traders being so younf- ages as low as 13.
I would give my 13-14 year old self the advice to put down the gaming controller and start studying the markets and how to trade. These kids are becoming successful, and could be millionaires by the time they graduate high school of they hone their craft or find a solid stock, commodity, or crypto to invest in early enough.
Don't waste your time, learn new things, travel more and get out of your country
