Spoiler alert: I didn’t make the list of Forbes 40 under 40.

In fact, there are many things I didn’t do until after I reached the 4th floor: start writing, creating a business, speaking in podcasts, publishing a book, launching a newsletter, speaking at a book fair…

I always thought I would have everything figured out by now.

And yet, here I am, a rookie again, making sense of the world around me, starting a new career, exploring new passions, and embracing the beginner’s mindset.

Hungry for life.

Curious about the unknown.

Welcoming the new possibilities.

I used to think I was late but now I think I’m right where I need to be.

Embracing the new paths and the new beginnings.

You are never too old to be an apprentice in life.

You are not too late; you are figuring out life.
