🌍 Why Everyone Is a Beginner Right Now (Even Experts!)
Here's something surprising - even people with 60 or 70 years of experience are beginners when it comes to personal agency.
Why? Because our whole world - school, work, companies - was built to train people to follow someone else's lead. Only the top 1-2% were ever expected to drive strategy.
The world is changing fast:
- Big tech hired 24% fewer junior workers from 2023 to 2024
- AI is replacing entry-level analytical work
- New graduates can't get experience without jobs
Learning new things gets harder as we get older because we have more habits to unlearn - and unlearning is actually harder than learning.
The good news? A growth mindset says:
'Being wrong is fine. Being stagnant is not.'
Whether you're 22 or 62, now is the time to start thinking and acting for yourself.
