I partied A LOT in my 20s. I was lost, had no idea what I wanted to do, and didn& #39;t know the things I know now about tech.
I would definitely learn to code and rack up on tech certs.
I& #39;d also enroll at WGU & grab a tech degree (comes w/ certs too)
Why? Options! Always have options. You open more doors for yourself with certs, a degree with a positive ROI, etc.
I don& #39;t have a degree & there are some convos I& #39;m not even considered for because of that. That& #39;s annoying.
Use this time & energy wisely.

One of the best things you could do *right now* is book a money consult with @capital_sb & then IMPLEMENT it.
There& #39;s nothing I bought in my 20s that I remember or am using now, outside of education & coaching.
Think about that.

I& #39;m not a high-risk person. I lean towards stability instead of risk it all
Keep your day job, increase your salary and benefits. If that& #39;s not possible, skill up & go elsewhere.
This is insane but I& #39;d probably do this:
M-F: Work 9-5
Mon-Thurs: Use those evenings to code, cert, or take classes
Fri-Sun night: Job w/ tips
Sat-Sun AM: Cert, studying, do 1 social thing, 1 networking thing
Toss in exercise & good sleep.

Save money but travel? Yeah.
Follow @jasminexETH and @55mmbae, they have all the travel deal info.

Traveling, imo, makes you a better person.
Every time you want to login to Netflix, pick up a book.

My personal opinion, have them if you want.
I won& #39;t say having a kid held me back, it just forced me to move very different and more efficiently.
BUT I had something to move different & efficiently with, my business.
I would have waited until I was 30 th
Having one stream of income is too risky.

Everything should ultimately get people on your email list where you can then provide value and make offers.
Create valuable content daily. That& #39;s your portfolio.
There& #39;s a lot you can do with an audience.
Remember, we like options.
With an audience, you have these options:
- consult calls
- digital products & courses
- events
- affiliate
- service business
You can then leverage the capital from your day job and side hustles to fund the more long-term plays that

I also want to add, if you& #39;re also a Black woman and intend on having kids, PLEASE focus on your bag and yourself first!
I& #39;m not going to get into the stats of Black women & kids but do everything possible to set yourself up for success so you& #39;re an exception & not a statistic.

When I got pregnant, I already knew I had to prepare and accept that there& #39;s a good chance I needed to be ready to do it on my own.
Luckily, I was in a position to do so as far as finances, business savvy, and network.
If you& #39;re already a Black mother, I& #39;m going to start making
