Menu10 years ago, you asked one of the most important questions anyone can ask:
What should I invest my time and knowledge into at 18?
Here’s my answer — and a question back to you:
Did you end up doing what you loved?
And if not — do you still carry the same question today?
What I Think You Deserved to Hear Then
You already had two rare things at 18:
✅ Patience
✅ Persistence
What you were missing — and what most answers didn’t help you find — was clarity around what makes you feel alive.
So let me say it simply:
👉 Do what you love.
👉 But make sure it can feed you, grow you, and challenge you.
Don’t just “join a sales job” unless it’s teaching you something that matters.
Don't chase business for the sake of being in business.
Chase something that lights a fire — then build the business around that.
🔍 What the Other Answers Missed
Most replies gave reasonable advice:
✅ Learn to code
✅ Get a mentor
✅ Try internships
✅ Improve emotional intelligence
✅ Understand money, failure, and success
❌ But very few talked about love or passion.
❌ Most answers skipped the why — they focused on what to do, not who to become.
And that's dangerous. Because if you build a business (or a life) without a sense of purpose, you’ll wake up successful — and miserable.
📩 So Here’s What I’d Love to Know:
You wrote that post a decade ago. If you’re reading this now:
✅ What did you end up doing?
✅ Do you still wonder what to build your future around?
✅ And most importantly… did you find what you love?
🧭 Final Word
If you’re still on that journey, you're not alone. It’s never too late to realign.
Schedule a call if you want help finding the through-line between what you’ve lived… and what you’re meant to build next.
