No doubt the 20s is one hell of a decade , it's a place where turbulence meet humbleness, a place filled with echoes of chaos and battles of giants bills, a place where you get lost in , you fail and make series of mistakes, over and over again.
And it's even darker in a geographic location like Nigeria where the system is broken beyond repair and theres hardly any prestigious pathway for the youths to build and thrive on legitimately.

Now I want this thread to be a highly informative and pivotal thread , to sort of give people in their 20s an idea of how to properly navigate their way to the top especially in a place like Nigeria where legitimacy doesn't really pay all the bills.
Again I don't think most of us as been given due blueprints in which we ought to follow thoroughly to succeed in life legitimately, people like our dad's and even our uncles or brothers aren't giving us enough information that we need to build our respective successful future and become better versions of ourselves and persons of significant value.

So even though I'm still in my 20s (late 20s btw) I want to give a few hints that has worked for me over the years to build multiple successful businesses. I'm still navigating my way sha. But the point is so we can all learn and grow.

I've been able to work on 4 areas of my life and still working on them . And these 4 areas are in no particular order
1. Health
2. Finance
3. Relationships
4 career

1. My health ; honestly this isn't rocket science and it might be subjective to everyone, I've had to cut off fast foods , junks and all that unnecessary processed foods that adds no value to my health.
Health is wealth , I used to love junk foods but I had to stop it , I was getting fat in a very funny looking type of way , so I had to sacrifice and now I'm leading an even healthier life and it's significantly paying off big time.
So invest in your health , I go to the gym 4 times every week , and I eat only healthy meals , I stopped smoking ( except occasionally) stopped drinking as well too ( except occasionally) and it's been great no lies.
So while your in your 20s lead a healthy life cause if you don't you would end up spending money on transplant or surgeries , you dont wanna go that route trust me.
Invest in health supplements if have the money , invest in the gym , invest in oral and overall hygiene , dress well , smell nice , you don't even have to break the bank for these things tbh.

2. Finance ; This one is highly critical in your 20s , but I would tell you this , in your 20s learn more about money management than how to make money.
When you learn how to manage money and you understand how money works , getting money becomes relatively easier. Trust me.
Buy things that you need rather than things that you want , try to have liquidity, assets , don't try to impress anyone with money , it never ends well. Have an emergency savings account. Build your credit score.
Overall just invest in financial knowledge , it pays off well.

4. Career; try things and fail , I've tried my hands on so many things , 9-5 , businesses, entertainment, hospitality I've lost count tbh but along all these trials and errors I found my strength in businesses and I'm doing really well right now. Your not confused when it comes to choosing a career path , you just need to try different things and then see whichever works better for you.

So Men in the house please drop one of two takes on how you navigated your path to success during your 20s.
Please and please serious minded individuals only , this thread should be educative pls.. thank you

This is actually a lot you dropped off like it's nothing.

That's good man. Make sure you don't over charge tho , you start from little and after you've gained people's trust and confidence you can now sky rocket your price.
