The story

I used to think empowerment came from others, like getting a promotion or permission to succeed. But I’ve learned it’s something we build ourselves, step by step.

The biggest shift happened when I discovered how to take charge of my own learning. Take the Feynman Technique – you pick something you want to understand, try explaining it super simply to someone else, notice where you get stuck, and then work on those gaps. It’s amazing how quickly you spot what you don’t actually know when you try teaching it.

I also had to change how I talk to myself. Instead of “I can’t do this,” I switched to “I haven’t figured this out yet.” That tiny word “yet” makes all the difference in how we view challenges.

But all this mindset stuff? It only works if you actually do something with it. Set clear boundaries. Pay attention to what’s working. Try things out, mess up sometimes, learn from it. That’s how real growth happens.

I break down all of this – and more – in Chapter 7 of “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21.” If you’re ready to stop waiting for permission to succeed and start building your own path, this chapter’s for you.
