My greatest fear is becoming stagnant, no longer learning, growing, or evolving. Growth is what keeps me energized and relevant, both personally and professionally. I handle that fear by staying curious, continuing my education, and surrounding myself with people who challenge and inspire me. For me, growth isn’t optional; it’s a commitment to showing up fully in my work and in my life.
The best advice I received was to start before you feel ready, because there is no perfect time. In business, most people wait for certainty, but growth comes from taking action. I started my own practice at 60, and that decision changed everything. My advice is simple: trust yourself, take the first step, and be willing to learn as you go. The right time is the moment you decide to begin.
