Phoenix Challenge: DAY 4

Today I am answering the question on what I wish I knew 2 years ago. Two years ago I was 24 years old and just finished my first year of university. I had just left the business I co-founded with my friend and I was going to networking events all over London building connections that will help me break into the venture capital space. I went alone and when I used to speak to people with thousand years of experience I would be incredibly intimidated. I still feel that way to be honest. But what I would tell my younger self is, “you’re doing amazing sweetie”.

I am awfully self-critical and very much into my emotions so I would tell her to relax. I would tell her that a global pandemic is on its way and she should be more aggressive about building her personal brand and passive income. I would tell her that she needs to also take care of her health because it will be something that she would be forced to be more aware of as she gets older. I would tell her she needs to sleep. I would tell her to stop talking to men who clearly make it known that they are emotionally unavailable.

That’s what I would tell her.
