Your Youth is a Cheat Code! USE IT!

[Devin James]

I’ve been given so many opportunities simply because I’m young and I show up.

It’s not about having all the answers—it’s about being present, eager to learn, and willing to put in the work.

Seasoned professionals love helping the younger generation—it’s where they find a lot of their fulfillment. They’ve built careers, made mistakes, and gained wisdom that they genuinely want to pass down—but only to those who ask, listen, and TAKE ACTION.

If you’re young, use it to your advantage. Get in the room. Ask questions. Learn from those ahead of you.

The opportunities are there—are you showing up for them?

You are so right! I've tried to encourage younger people to invest in RE. Many of them were told the work for 40 to 50 years at a W2 job and put money into a 401k (nothing wrong with that if you love your job). There are so many resources and opportunities to network and learn now - local meet ups, webinars, etc.

I'm training my own kids in RE - I pointed out that look at who else is giving you financial advice. If they're broke, might want to question what they're doing. Do they have a successful business? RE portfolio? Or did they just do the pay off the mortgage and save money strategy (what I was taught growing up)? 

 I know older women in their 70s who had to go back to work because their widow benefits from Social Security and pension from deceased husband wasn't enough to live in with high costs now - they didn't have the benefit the internet and networking to become financially savvy when they were young. I just also wanted to encourage young women to invest
