“Power and performance together will get you much further ahead than either one separately."

1️⃣ Rule 1: Get Out of Your Own Way

To achieve true success, you need both power and performance working together. Many people struggle with self-promotion, but downplaying your accomplishments can hold you back and make you doubt your own abilities. This chapter focuses on how to develop a mindset of power and competence, overcome self-limiting beliefs, and pursue power intentionally without worrying about authenticity or being liked.

Mindset Matters

The way you view yourself greatly affects how others see you. If you think of yourself as powerful and deserving of success, you’ll project that confidence and influence others.

• Embrace self-promotion: It’s okay to promote your achievements and advocate for what you want. Don’t diminish your success by being overly modest.
• Think powerfully: Shift your mindset to one of competence and authority. Recognize that you deserve to succeed.
• Fight imposter syndrome: Avoid downplaying your abilities, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.

A powerful mindset helps you take control of your career and ensures that your achievements are recognized.

Persistence Matters

Building power takes time and effort. Along the way, you will face criticism, obstacles, and setbacks—but persistence is key.

• Stay resilient: Don’t give up on your goals in the face of challenges. Instead, adjust your approach and keep pushing forward.
