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?

Let me know in the comments!
