The Power of Backing Yourself

Being self-sufficient is wonderful.
One single point of failure — you.
Sounds empowering, right? Often, it is.

But here’s the real talk:
Backing yourself isn't just about confidence.
It's about clarity. It’s about knowing when to move forward, when to pause, and when to get out of your own way.
It’s about integrating insight.

Knowing:

• When to pivot

• When to take the feedback and reframe (not retreat)

• And when to stand your ground, even when your voice shakes

I often say, when asked — “Yes but… does reverse mentoring really work?”
Well yes. I believe in it so much that I left my corporate career to spread the word about how this tool can transform cultures when introduced with due care and process.

And let’s be real — entrepreneurs have a different level of risk appetite. You have to.
We’re the ones betting on ourselves every single day. Sometimes with shaky hands, but still — we bet.
