Mike Andes tells people in their 20s that daily choices are deposits or withdrawals from your future. Work through busy season instead of taking a holiday. These decisions compound over decades and can mean retiring with millions versus billions.
If you're in your 20s, listen up. You have to be a go getter. Sacrifice or regret you choose. This is a notion that I live by. The actions you make today prove whether you're making deposits or withdrawals from your future success. Taking the two week holiday in the middle of your business's busy season is a withdrawal. Doubling down and knocking on more doors for sales might you not feeling like it is making a deposit in your future success? The crazy thing about being in your 20s is that whatever decisions you make compound and will really determine whether you have a million doll dollars at retirement or whether you have a billion dollars when you retire in 40 years.
