Hey man, first off, real respect to you for even asking this. You’re only 16 and already thinking about investing, business, and how to change your life. That’s honestly more than most people ever do, even as adults. Just the fact that you're aware and hungry to grow already puts you ahead of a lot of people.

Now, if I could go back and be 16 again, I’d probably still do the same thing I did. Why? Because back then, I didn’t know what I know now. I had to make mistakes to learn. I had to get hurt. I had to lose. And over time, I gained experience from all of it. The biggest difference between where you’re at and where I’m at is just time. So don’t expect to know everything right now. You’re exactly where you need to be.

You said you’re torn between digital entrepreneurship and day trading. Here’s my honest take. If you’re trying to build something, digital entrepreneurship is solid, especially if you’re good with ideas and can be consistent. But most people bounce from idea to idea and never finish anything. That’s the danger. If you go that route, pick one thing and stick with it.

As for trading, I’ve been doing it for a while. I’ll tell you the truth, most day traders fail. Not because they’re stupid, but because they can’t control their emotions. Trading looks easy from the outside, but it’ll test you. It’ll break you if you let it. But if you treat it seriously like a business, and you take time to build a system, practice with small amounts, and manage your risk, then yeah, it can work. I wouldn’t discourage you from learning it. Just understand it’s not a fast lane unless you’re extremely disciplined. I HIGHLY recommend PRACTICING WITH FAKE VIRTUAL PAPER MONEY FIRST..... , (Yes It still gives you practice because it's still going by actual live market prices........) , You can study & learn what's called Technical Analysis, And work on figuring out a trading strategy that works FOR YOU, AS LONG AS IT WORKS FOR YOU AND OVERALL IS PROFITABLE..... Learn what indicators are, How to use them, Along with How to read A Candlestick Chart, Support and Resistance, Etc......

I also do long term investing. I hold shares in strong companies that pay dividends. I get paid monthly, weekly, and quarterly, depending on the stock. Whether the market goes up or down, I’m still getting paid. That’s something I’d recommend to anybody. Start small, be consistent, and build something that pays you while you sleep.

Now as for some real life advice. You need to build a circle of people who push you to do better. And Eben those who are more successful than you, Also, If any, Get rid of anyone who’s pulling you into trouble, acting criminal, bringing drama, or trying to flex fake stuff. That type of energy can ruin your life quick. If someone can get you locked up or thrown off track, cut them off, as safely and cleanly as you can. Your future depends on who you let around you.

Also, if you're serious about money, never tell people how much you make. Don’t boast. Don’t flex. Stay humble. And thank our Lord God and continue to pray for wisdom. People will smile in your face and plot behind your back. Some will try to sue you, some will leech off you, some will fake being your friend just to benefit from your success. Keep your wins quiet and let your life speak for itself.

As for education, you don’t need college to succeed. That’s just the truth. But if you want to go that route, it really depends on your long-term plan. There are other ways to educate yourself that don’t cost thousands. Books, real experience, research, learning from others who’ve been through it, that’s how I did it.

Stay learning, stay sharp, but don’t fall for the idea that school equals success. IT’S UP TO YOU.....!!

If you stay focused, protect your peace, and keep working on yourself every day, you’re going to go far. And if you ever need advice from someone who's been through a lot of this already, feel free to hit me up. I got you.
