"If I could share any advice with my 22-year-old self, it would be very simple: Dream bigger," the "Shark Tank" investor writes.
Herjavec says at 22, he didn't dream big enough — and that's why he didn't quite understand how to channel creativity into something tangible. "I didn't know how to translate my people skills into a career I would be passionate about," he explains. "If I'd known I could do these things, I would have done them sooner."
He says he invests in young people who dream big. "Evan and Nick from Tipsy Elves left successful, high-paying careers to jump head first into the crazy world of Christmas sweaters," he says. "Ashley from Natural Grip pursued her vision wholeheartedly, making the first 150 pairs of grips from scraps in the trash at her husband's office.
