Think where you would like to be when you're thirty, then work backward to now and figure out what you need to do to get there.

Also, don't be afraid to take chances.

More like think where you would like to be immediately, acknowledge that you won’t get it until you’re 30, then make this plan and go for it.

When I was in my 20s I considered 30 to be the end of my life. Trying to reason about where I wanted to be in my 30s just returned null.
