The time when you stand at the threshold of adulthood armed with the power to shape your future. It's a period of immense potential and opportunity, but it's also a time when your choices you make can have lasting consequences.

Today we're five crucial points. That every man in his twenties should consider to set himself up for a lifetime of fulfillment, success, and personal growth. So whether you're a young man just starting this journey or someone looking back to this form of years, this episode is for you. So let's dive in.

Number one, health habits. When you're in your twenties, you're at the [00:02:00] apex of your body's physical capabilities. You'll never be able to control your strength, your weight, your physique, or your overall health like you can in this age range. If you're under 25, you may think this is exaggeration, but you're still living on your youth and fast metabolism.

Between 23 and 25, it will start to catch up. It's only becomes more difficult to undo the bad choices with every passing year. Establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle in and through your twenties will set you up for a lifetime of success with your health. Imagine going into your thirties with a decade of solid sleep habits.

Healthy eating habits and a solid fitness routine, you're gonna be at powerhouse for the rest of your life, and unless you throw out everything drastically and purposely, the thirties and on are just gonna be amazing for you. Number two. Build your skillset. Now is the time. Stop consuming [00:03:00] entertainment.

Anything that gives you a dopamine hit without having to do your work is an enemy. I know that sounds drastic, but it's true, and it's something you learn later in life. So please take this little tidbit of wisdom. Wisdom. It's not just me saying this, guys, if you can't learn from it or earn from it, then stay away from it.

Read books to teach you things. Take courses, classes, and get in Masterminds Apprentice if that aligns with your goals. 'cause that may be the best option. One of the most powerful things I ever learned from a friend was this, do the work first, work hard, get it all done before you play. That way, once you start playing, you don't have to stop.

Guys, that truth has shaped my life for decades, and it's one of the most valuable pieces of information that was ever imparted to me. Too many 20 year olds think that they should party and have fun while they're young. Well use your twenties to build the skills that will make the next 60 years [00:04:00] amazing instead.

Number three, actively seek your purpose. Purpose is often misunderstood. There's not one thing. That's, that's, that's not how purpose works. There's not like one thing that you have to do with the rest of your life. You are meant to do a great, many things in your life, but there's one person. You're meant to be something that is powerful about you, something that inevitably, no matter what you do, it will find its way into your life over and over and over again.

Hindsight is a truly powerful thing as you get later in life, and I can look back in my life. And see several times where this was true. No matter where I landed, I saw these same trace, these same key pieces of my life and the way I played in them over and over and over again. So be observant during these years and learn what it is that is your purpose.

You're calling, or who you're meant to be. [00:05:00] It will shape your life forever and sooner you identify it, embrace it, and lean into it. The happier you'll be in life. Men have a much more fulfilling, successful, and joyful life when they align with their purpose. Number four, guys, build your future. Now's the time to build the future you want to build.

I mean, now is the opportunity. Learn about finances, investing, business, real estate, sales, marketing, and entrepre entrepreneurship. If I can say it. Dabble, build businesses, make investments, take professional risk. Get serious about what you want for your future set goals. Dream big. And again, if you can't learn from it or earn from it, then you should probably stay away from it for this part of your life.

We live in an exciting time where if you work intelligently, Intentionally in your twenties, then the rest of your life can be easy and successful. It's truly an amazing time period to be alive. 10 years of calculated [00:06:00] intentional actions can set you up for life and at the very least, it'll set up your, set you up for life.

Number five, build a strong tribe, but maintain yourself as an island. Now, I know that sounds kinda like an oxymoron, guys, but I promise I'm gonna make it. Make sense. Surround yourself with a powerful tribe. The world is truly impacted by who you know and who knows you, but be choosy about that tribe. Find a tribe full of people who are talking money, success, business, entrepreneurship, personal development, growth.

Build real connections with those kind of people. The truth is, If you're lucky, you'll have four or five real friends in your life. These are the friends that you can like call in the middle of the night. There's no explanation when you're like, Hey, bring a shovel. That's a threat. However, maintain your ability to be an island.

99.99%, and I know we [00:07:00] like to throw out statistics, right? 99.99% of the people you're trying to impress don't care about you. If you die today, who will still miss you 10 years from now? Only your family. So learn to love yourself and be confident in who you are with your abilities. First. Learn to be powerful in being yourself and being on your own.

That there's, there's incredible power in being content and comfortable when you're alone, but, If you can master that, you'll thrive. If you can master being strong enough to be alone while surrounding yourself with other high value men, I guarantee it. Now you know me. I always like to add one more.

'cause you know freebies, right? So number six, guys. Learn to plug your energy. Leaks. Time and attention are your most valuable, precious, and limited commodities. So learn to set healthy boundaries, ignore distractions, and distance yourself from [00:08:00] drama. Things that rob you of your mental, emotional, and spiritual energy are prevalent in our si in our society today.

Pointless arguments online or otherwise. People take, people who take, take, take, take gossip. People that add drama and stress, comparing yourself to others and useless vices like alcohol, tobacco, being overweight, pornography. These all cause self-loathing, shame and are emotional, mental, and spiritual drains.

They will steal from your life incredibly. You are gonna grow older sooner than you think. There's an old saying the days are long, but the decades are short. Life is too short to let these things take away from you to let it rob you of your potential for your future. Now guys, some of you'll notice. I didn't talk about women.

In fact, that was intentionally left out. I didn't talk about women in [00:09:00] relationships because this is what is true. The value of a man goes up with time, experience, and age start building and you'll find that high value and low value women come around. You don't have to go looking for it. They will find you if you are building yourself.

So just be really careful which ones you pay attention to. If she doesn't reflect your own ideals, dreams, your work ethic, and your goals, she'll only distract you. An amazing woman will be an active partner that adds to the overall value of your life and works with you to achieve those goals. The wrong kind of women will just waylay your goals and dreams, distract you from your bigger goals, and take away from your overall quality of life.

These are not the kind of women you wanna surround yourself with, but I promise you, if you invest these other six things we've covered and start building yourself into the man you intend to be for the rest of your life. Women will find you. You don't have to go looking. And there you have it, guys. A powerful guide to navigating your [00:10:00] twenties and crafting a life full of purpose, prosperity and self-discovery.

Remember, healthy habits form the foundation of everything else, and it's easier to start in your twenties. It just gets harder as you go. So prioritize your wellbeing above all else, embrace the art of building your skillset, investing in your future, and actively seeking your purpose. Knowing that it's not a singular thing, but a journey of self-discovery.

Cultivate a strong tribe of like-minded individuals who inspire growth, but never forget the strength of being content in your own company. As you step into adulthood, armed with this wisdom, may you face the challenges and opportunities ahead with courage and determination.
