I am in my early 20s too so can't provide the depth you're probably looking for but here is what I know so far:
Move to a country/location/environment where you can actually achieve your goals/dreams ASAP. Location is the number 1 determining factor imo. This is step zero, nothing happens without this.
Build a lean, aesthetic physique (assuming you're a guy). Workout and stay healthy.
Get skills ASAP. Stack as many real tangible skills as you can. Skills will pay your bills and will be the foundation of your career.
Absolutely. People have no clue how much where you live determines so many aspects of your life. Career, salaries, current/future opportunities, relationships and people you have access to.
If you have it, do NOT take your geographical luck for granted please.
I will reluctantly agree. Moving to Silicon Valley increased my career trajectory by 10x - 100x.
I second the athletic physique thing.
Stacking skills too.
