![]() My two original suggestions above (create short-form videos from long-form videos, and to run paid ads) are both B2B services that help businesses make more sales. So my suggestion to a 17 year old who wants to become a better business owner is to provide a service to business owners and find out real fast how business owners think. Every employee minded person I've spoken to who's had sales training has sucked at building relationships and creating win-wins. There's a line of thinking I subscribe to that employees are trained in sales to make them think like a business owner. You don't even need to be an expert at the skill, you just need to be willing to roll your sleeves up and figure it out. Pick a skill, help people with it, get paid. I'm going to be controversial (and biased of course) and say NOT to go into sales. Actually from ages 16-26 you should be trying out different things, learn to fail and get up as quickly as you can because you're still very young and have lots of time AND even if you fail big, it's not really going to matter since those will be lessons for you THAT you can later apply when you're starting something that's working for you. Are you scared of putting your face up on YouTube or social media? Do it! Scared of door knocking or doing cold calls? Do it anyway, you'll learn so much by doing it. Do what you don't want to do.ĭO what scares you the most man, it'll help you out tremendously later in life. Because most things that are worth it in life come from doing the uncomfortable things or the things that make you uncomfortable. How is the average 17 year old nowadays going to know what's he's good or bad at when most 17 year olds are scrolling or dancing on TikTok all day or playing Fortnite all day? I know it because I was 17 4-5 years ago and my dream back then was to be a professional football player.Īctually, do what actually scares you. This is the worst advice that you can give to a 17 year old.Ĭlick to expand.True. The important thing is that you start immediately, strive to achieve mastery, and you keep working until you achieve your goals (financial or otherwise). ![]() ![]() You will be able to apply this to any field of work and be successful.Īs for the specific freelancing methods, there are endless opportunities so pick whatever you want. What you do now will influence the rest of your adult life.Īs Z has said, it's much more important to develop a very solid work ethic and ability to think strategically. Try as many things, learn as many things, and work as hard as you can. Trying to play by your perceived strengths and weaknesses at 17 means sabotaging yourself and severely limiting your extraordinary Please don't do that. I'm not selling this to anyone, there is no referral link as you can see no "ref" on the link I just think its good to know this stuff and its not hard once you learn the language.Ĭlasses start April 10 and enrolled ends the 9th.Click to expand.This is the worst advice that you can give to a 17 year old.Īt this young age you haven't even developed your basic life skills and your brain is so plastic and can learn so quickly that any "weakness" can become your greatest strength and any "strength" can become your greatest weakness if you stop training it - in just a matter of years or even months. I know there are "free" websites and programs out there but for me, I need a program to follow in order to get things done in a timely fashion. I learned really fast and its very cool to know this stuff I think in a day and age of digital technology. ![]() It also has some projects in which you have to submit by certain deadlines for them to review and give you feedback, but give you two weeks grace period. They have slack channel with other students in the room and also a direct live chat with instructors in each section. I have taken my time as well you can go at your own pace. I just started it a two months ago and I am almost done.
