SNM031: If You Could Go Back In Time
When I started on my Master’s course, a fellow student told me to change paths and get an MBA. I just shook my head and ignored his advice. Â Looking back, I wonder how much bigger my empire would be if I had taken his advice.
Teach Your Younger Self
What lessons would you go back in time and share with a younger version of yourself. Â The lessons that I would teach myself 5 years ago are the lessons that I want to share with you today. Â Those are the lessons that you had to learn the hard way.
Help your audience avoid the pain and struggle. Â Give them the knowledge without the struggle.
Back to the Future
My father wishes that I’d gone to a different university. Looking back, perhaps I would have had more fun and more dating success, but then I think about that picture in Back to the Future. Â I see a picture of my family and I can see them each fading away from that photograph when I go back in time to change things.
I don’t actually want to go back in time and I have no regrets about my life. Â Every piece of pain and struggle brought me to the place I am today with my amazing life.
Lessons I Would Teach Myself:
- Growth can disappear
- Controlling what you spend is more important than controlling what you make
- Build a business, not a product
- Treat your customers with affection
