Skills To Master In Your 20s

- THREAD -
1 - Self-criticism

This one is hard. But crucial.

Because the 20s are designed to take L's.

But if you can't take Ls, you're going to suffer.

From now on ask yourself what did you learn from this L.

Reflect on that & never do the same mistake again.
2 - Public speaking

Captain Covid is doing something awful here.

Decreased social situation = No public speaking.

However, this is the skill of every leader.

If you want to lead, you need to master public speaking.

Basta.
3 - Writing

I'm huge on this one.

School taught us to write:

> Boring
> Academic

Texts.

Do you like reading academic books? Me neither.

Learn to write text people will love to read.

> Inspire
> Educate
> Entertain

I landed gigs just for being fun and interesting.
4 - Photoshop

I don't care if you're an accountant, cook, or stripper.

You need basic PS skills.

It's the new norm.

Just like writing and talking, you need PS skills.

Businesses are looking for versatile people.

@naval said it.

YouTube can teach you a lot.
5 - Negotiation

You'll 100% be in a situation where you'll have to negotiate

> Asking for a raise
> Getting a better price for Airbnb
> Buying a house at a better deal

And more...

Learn the basics and it will pay dividends throughout your entire life.
6 - Sales

I had two sales calls last week.

I closed both.

All the props go to @PaikCapital and his Agency Course.

I used the sales call structure script and it worked like magic.

Because the script puts you in the powerful position where the prospect just nods.
If you want to build an agency that makes $5,000-$10,000 per month

I suggest The Agency course

> Can be done from everywhere
> No experience needed
> Easy to learn

Matthew shows everything.

Pay $75 once, make 10x that every month (aff):

7 - Personal branding

This is a *new* one but it has the most potential.

Starting a personal brand on Twitter isn't hard.

@creation247 showed me how to play the game to

- gain followers
- meet new amigos
- create a lot of content

8 - Creative thinking

The education system has taken this from us.

If you don't obey - punished
If you think with your head - punished
If you think you're different - punished

Sucks. I know.

Here are some books to fix this:
Michael Gelb - Think Like Da Vinci

Edward De Bono - Lateral Thinking

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - Flow

All great books.
If you're still reading...

Congrats, you're going to rock your 20s.
