A note on this and the next chapter.

I'm not a professional psychologist or counsellor. The words in these chapters might feel as if I'm leaning into these roles, but I'm leaning in more to my own experiences: my personal story of a change in mindset, career and life.

I focus on being enlightened to the fact that anything is possible with your life and career. I hope you skip many years of struggle and frustration after reading my story and learning from the principles I have uncovered so far in my life.
