At 20, I spent most of my time thinking with my dick.

Late-nights at nightclubs. Stupid amounts of alcohol. Racing cars down suburban streets at over 100 mph. I asked my friends to call me Peter Pan.

I legitimately told them I would be forever young.

The one or two grey hairs I now have prove this claim to be lame. I wish someone told me at 20 to work on these skills. Then by 30 I would have gotten closer to my ideal life. Instead, I snoozed and loosed.

If you want more money, you need to relook at your skills.

Here are the skills to generate passive income that I wish I had at 20.

The cringeworthy skill that runs your life

Life is a series of sales you have to make.

People hate when I say this. They get angry with referral programs that payout money and call them unethical or Ponzi Schemes. No.

You’re just afraid to sell. That’s the harsh truth.
