Hey friends, in this video I'm sharing 7 habits that helped me build wealth in my 20s - but I'm also being quite honest about the costs that came with them. From constantly thinking about business to sacrificing health and relationships, these habits did make me financially free, but they also came with real trade-offs that I'm now trying to unlearn in my 30s. If you're on the journey of building a business or trying to get rich, I hope this gives you some inspiration but also some caution about what you might be giving up along the way.
