3690280529 9c5080da8f  25 Life Lessons In My First 25 YearsIt’s 10:18pm and I am 30,000 feet up in the air with Dave Matthews Band in my headphones.  My 25th birthday is 26 hours away (it is today-I wrote this on Friday) and I am heading down to hang out with my friend who is putting on an event called “Creating Your Millionaire Identity”.

I would have never thought in a million years I would be sitting where I am right now, let alone be still kickin’.  I really was an careless punk through my teens and early 20’s, really having no direction in life.  But, I am still here and I am happier than ever.

So far, this year I have learned…

  • Eating a bunch of bananas in one day is too many bananas.
  • Spend a few extra minutes developing a well thought out plan.
