Embrace a growth mindset and seek knowledge through various channels, including books, online resources, and real-world experiences.

Continuous learning is key

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking."

Samir discovered his love for building things early on with Lego sets. He encourages finding and pursuing your passion, even if it deviates from the traditional path.

Embrace Your Passion

Samir learned about the financial industry by reading, watching videos, and, most importantly, by talking to and shadowing people in the field. He highlights the importance of learning through observation and real-world experience.

Learn by Doing and Observing

Building something meaningful takes time and effort. Stay committed to your goals, learn from your mistakes, and never give up on your dreams.

Believe in Your Vision and Persevere

"The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks."

Samir questioned the traditional path of college and focused on building his network and skills independently. The video emphasizes that college is losing its credibility and that the university system teaches you what to think and not how to think.

Challenge Conventional Norms

Samir's success at a young age proves that with passion, skills, and determination, you can achieve remarkable things.

Your age doesn't define your potential

Building a business is challenging, and Samir admits he wanted to quit multiple times. He stresses the importance of resilience, having a long-term vision, and staying focused on your goals to overcome obstacles.

Resilience and Vision

Understand What Your Superpower Is

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."

If the traditional path doesn't align with your goals, explore alternative routes and create your own definition of success.

Don't be afraid to question the status quo

Samir advises identifying your "superpower" – the one thing you are best at – and focusing on developing that skill. He emphasizes that it's more effective to maximize your strengths than to fixate on weaknesses.
