I spent years striving for "perfection."
Honestly, that was my biggest mistake.
I was a classic serial overplanner.
Google Docs, Notion pages, Trello boards... you name it.
Eventually, I came to the realisation we all come to:
If you're not making mistakes, you're not moving forward.
Truthfully, big change always comes with fear attached.
I think this is the biggest problem with schools in 2025.
We're taught theory, and sometimes, practice.
But mistakes aren't actively encouraged. They should be.
Take it from me:
❌ I failed on LinkedIn for years...
✅ Until 2024, I now have 82,442+ followers.
❌ I changed direction multiple times post-graduation...
✅ I'm now a leading figure at a high-growth startup.
❌ I used to be, quite frankly, a terrible leader.
✅ Now I feel more competent at leading and delegating.
I wouldn't be where I am without the errors I made!
If you have self-limiting beliefs or fear of failure...
You will not achieve the success you're after.
At the end of each week, try this exercise:
1. Reflect on your week overall.
2. Write down 3 mistakes you made.
3. Create an action plan to fix the error.
Make mistakes and learn ma people 💪
What's a recent mistake you've made?
