Why You’ll WASTE The Next 3 Years…

How You’ll Waste the Next 3 Years (and How to Win Them Instead)
Most people underestimate what 3 focused years can do—and overestimate what they can do in 3 distracted months. This video is your wake-up call: stop trading long-term transformation for short-term relief. If you choose a path (coding, data, ML, YouTube, school) and commit, three years can change your income, identity, and options. If you don’t, three years pass anyway—and you’re still at the starting line.

What you’ll learn

Why short-term thinking keeps you stuck (and broke)

The “3 out of 30” lens: sacrifice now, freedom later

How dopamine loops (scrolling, busywork) steal your prime years

A simple plan to pivot: pick a lane, build projects, stack skills, ship work

Why AI = opportunity (if you master foundations + problem-solving)

Action plan (save this)

Pick a direction (e.g., web dev, data, product)

Map 12 months → skills, projects, proof (portfolio, certs, internships)

Daily system: 2–4 hrs deep work, 1 project milestone per week

Ship public: GitHub/portfolio/YouTube/blog; apply every week

Review monthly: what moved the needle? double down

Quote to remember
“Discomfort now or regret later—those are the only two payments.”
