Don't self-reject - let others say no

Don't self-select because I think it's really easy to say, 'I don't have the experience,' or, 'I'm not X, Y, Z enough,' and not apply.

When someone offers you an opportunity, as crazy as it is, as ridiculous, as much as you don't want to do it, which many times in my life, the yeses that I have said about something I did not want to do, but forced myself to do it because of my belief system have resulted in the best and most extraordinary opportunities of my life.

Don't wait to create amazing things. Often just the act of putting yourself out there can just spur amazing things in itself.

You have to retreat to a place where you feel real mastery of. So for example, when I was at Microsoft, I was like, 'Well, I don't speak the language very well, English,' and I had an accent, et cetera, but I knew that I was the most online developer person out there.

Fake it till you make it. I don't mean lie. I don't mean pretend to be something that you're not, but it's almost like a way to overcome imposter syndrome and by opening rooms for yourself to be who you want to become so that you enable opportunities to become that.

When every new job I've been in, I have always felt that I didn't deserve to be there and I mean I genuinely.
