To be a millionaire when you're young, concentrate on commission based professions to find fort

Don Williams: Fascinating. Um, when I learned that. Okay. I'll put you in a time machine. Okay. All right. So just like Captain Kirk on the Starship Enterprise, we're gonna take you all the way back. It's not that far for you. We're gonna take you back to 20 year old Richard. Okay? And you're gonna get about 60 or 90 seconds to share one piece of advice that would've helped you along your.

Okay, so something you know now you didn't know then, but looking back, you wish you knew then. So into the time machine, you go all the way back, here's 20 year old you. What would you tell you?

Richard Blank: I would've told myself to be concentrating on commission based professions only because when you're limiting yourself to an hourly rate, which is.

and you can get your insurance and everything, but if you do something where your potential is limitless, you can be C over of a call center. And so I'm not saying that the naysayers and great believers were not encouraging me to follow my dreams, but a lot of it had to do with security. and what they knew.

Sure. And so a lot of that influence post-grad were those sort of jobs until I came to Costa Rica or that's where my mindset was, where I was thinking, you know, if you make a hundred grand a year, you hit it. But little did you know, you can make a million dollars a year. I mean, it's just another zero on a paycheck.

And so I would be telling myself at 20 years old, Hey, listen man, in about, uh, you know, 30 years you're gonna have a bunch of pinball machines. Be living in Central America and marry the girl your dreams. I would be like pinball machines, , you know? But, um, I also would've told my 20 year old self, you have beautiful hair

And to maintain. Maybe to start studying the violin a little bit sooner so you can impress your wife. Oh. And um, but I also would've said, you are on the right path, young man. And to continue studying that Spanish, which you love so much, and to once again, be true to yourself so there's no regrets. And so I think for the most part, that would've, the only difference is those three jobs I had post-grad.
