The greatest investment when you’re young

When you’re young, the best investment probably isn’t the stock market, real estate, or crypto.
Those work best when you already have capital and time to wait.
Your greatest investment is you.

Most people in their 20s don’t have much capital yet.
They’ve got a little money saved up, and all the time in the world.
If that’s you, the highest returns won’t come from compound interest.
They’ll come from investing in yourself.

How do you do it?
Make sure you’ve got a bit of more in the bank.
Work a basic job, stay out of debt and spend as little as you can. That’s the hardest step in the whole process.

The most powerful tool to build wealth at this point, is your income.
You won’t get rich working your current job, so you’ll need to find one that pays better.
You don’t need a fancy degree to unlock a high income. Here’s some basic examples.

Save up for a car.
The freedom to drive unlocks opportunities. Drive Uber. Deliver packages. Pick up freelance gigs.
Suddenly, you control your schedule and your cash flow. That’s a kind of freedom many young people don’t have.

Learn new skills.
Start learning skill that get you out of low-paying work.
You don’t need a degree, just proof of skill and consistency.
You can teach yourself almost anything online. YouTube alone is full of free resources.
Programming, drop-shipping, playing poker, teaching others your skills, such as playing an instrument.

Specialize.
Regular skills pay regular wages. But niche, in-demand skills?
That’s where companies are willing to pay a premium.
If you can solve a painful, specific problem that few others can, your income will skyrocket.

Buying stocks or real estate can give you modest long-term returns.
But learning a skill that doubles or triples your income in 6 to 12 months?
That creates the momentum to kickstart your career.

More income means more savings. More savings means more options.
And with more options, you can start investing in assets that truly compound.

If someone offered you a stock that could increase your income every year for the rest of your life, you’d invest in it without hesitation.
That stock already exists.
It’s you.

Just don’t expect realistic returns unless you’re willing to put in time, money, and effort to develop it.

I’ve helped professionals from all kinds of careers maximize their income, so they can start building real wealth.
