Starting off ? Find a mentor !

If you are starting out and seeking knowledge I HIGHLY recommend seeking out at least 1 mentor. It has changed the trajectory of my career and has jump started me on the path to success. Do not be afraid of putting yourself out there.

The way that I found both of mine was I found investors that were where I wished I was at their age. I asked one for drinks and at the end of it I(being a broke 21 year old) picked up the tab(mind you he drove a 2020 Blacked out Bentley LOL). When he asked me why I told him that it was how I wanted to show him how much I appreciate the time he took and how much it meant to me. Then see how you can bring them value, but not with the intentions of receiving payment or anything in return. 

Just what I have learned over the past year (:
