People say go all-in when you're young because it gets harder when you're older. I just wanted to mention that this is true and it happened to me and many of my friends. I'm so glad I went all-in when I was younger to establish my career and get wealthy because nowadays with a family it's much harder.. this let me focus on my family rather than work.

I think one of the most important thing you could do is get a great network and surround yourself with amazing people. What's hot in the moment changes every few years, but great connections stay for a long time. Also, being close to amazing people that are very talented means that you'll get to see new trends coming and always be on top of it.

Counterpoint: I spent most of my early youth going "all-in", basically trying to push myself to be something I'm not. Now I lie in bed at night wishing someone would shoot me in the head so I don't have to wake up to another day.

Effort doesn't necessarily equal success, and success doesn't equal happiness. Remember to work towards something you actually want to live. It's all too easy to use "all-in" as an excuse to run away from your problems, and making time for a family is great, but that family has to be built too.
