I didn't need to think hard about this. While I can't throw a 98-mph fastball like Shohei Ohtani or dunk like LeBron James, there's a lesson in how top athletes leverage their talents for financial success. During graduation season, let's look at Forbes' highest-paid athletes. Only five are 25 or younger, earning a combined $319.5 million last year. Such early success is rare due to league restrictions, like MLB's free agency rule. This mirrors young professionals' challenges in building industry trust and higher salaries. However, exceptions like Mark Zuckerberg and Michael Dell succeeded in their early 20s. If you haven't launched a company by 19, don't worry. Focus on your strengths to build future success. When reviewing Forbes' list, consider off-field earnings. You might not make an extra $80 million like LeBron James, but what you can do is use your grit and talents to generate income. Explore side hustles and consider investing monthly. ;)
