Turning 30 can be a turning point in a person’s life and career. This is the point where career goals start setting in and the hunger to land a spot in the corner office increases.
In your 20s,you have to set your eyes high, which requires that you lay ground for prosperity. Below we analyze some of the basic things to do during this period.
- Make sure you travel. If possible travel the world. There is nothing more eye opening than traveling to different places of the world to broaden your thinking and excel your communication skills with other people and cultures. Worldly experience is priceless, it is also about becoming more relatable to people which will only reflect positivity back in the real world.
- Risk everything and live life on the edge. Before you are 30 you have no real responsibilities and possibly no family you need to support. Be daring and risk it all for huge success. Afterol, you are young, motivated and have plenty of time to regroup if you fail so, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
- Build good habits. Whether it’s on time management, work ethic, setting work/life boundaries, exercising. Eating well or being disciplined with your personal finances, habits are your baseline. When unexpected moments interfere in your life, it is long established habits that are your savior. Form them young and they will be with you for life
- Learn how to manage your ups and downs. Many people are busy fulfilling the notion of managing less skilled colleagues, when the real skill is managing up to more skilled and experienced people.
- Find your passion then aim to be the best on the planet at what you do by learning both formally and through experience. Find a mentor that has walked the pathway you wish to walk then be totally reliable, honest and respectful with your time with them.
- Save money after every pay, learn how to budget and get out of home, stand on your own and be independent. Start and run a business no matter how small, if you can learn these skills early you will learn how to fail with low risk or repercussion.
- Do more than what you are expected to. Do more than what you are being paid to do, understand the value of going above and beyond what you are supposed to do and always look to provide the most service to the company you are working for. Often stay back and complete a task as many CEOs rely on the select few who really go above and beyond for promotions and salary increase,
- Start your own business when you still live at home it is a good time to experiment with a business idea when you don’t have real expenses. Find a mentor or someone you trust to give you advice.
- Get experience from established multi-nationals during your early 20s. The experiences you will get from these companies will help you have a strong foundation and also for future endeavors
- Set personal goals early enough and make sure you keep them in check and strive to achieve or surpass those goals. Always remember to reward yourself as you reach each milestone it is great for personal recognition.
