Lesson 5 of 30- Proof Doesn’t Need Permission | Becoming The Product
This lesson came from one of the biggest shifts in my career journey.
For a long time, I waited for permission from bosses, recruiters, and mentors, before taking action.
But the truth hit me hard:
- Nobody is coming to validate your ideas.
- Your execution is the permission.
- Your consistency is the evidence.
- Your proof is your voice.
In this video, I break down how I learned to trust my own data, my own progress, and my own decisions, even before I felt “ready.”

Lesson 3 of 30 — The Truth Behind How I Really Broke Into Product
I didn’t take the traditional route into product management.
No fancy program. No perfect roadmap.
Just real problems that needed solutions.
Your path into product doesn’t have to be linear — or glamorous.
Necessity can be a powerful entry point.

Lesson 2: “Every job gave me product thinking.”
For years, I thought only tech roles mattered.
But when I transitioned into product management, I realised the truth:
My foundation wasn’t built in tech, it was built in every job I once dismissed.
Banking taught me users.
Volunteering taught me empathy.
Random gigs taught me problem-solving.
And together, they shaped the product thinker I am today.
Nothing in your journey is wasted.
Every experience is a data point, and your job is to connect them.

✨ Behind Lesson 1 — Why It Had to Come First
Yesterday, I shared Lesson 1 of my 30 Lessons by 30 series: “You’re the MVP.”
Today, I want to take you a little deeper into the why behind it.
For a long time, I introduced myself like someone who needed to apologise for still “figuring it out.”
Even when I had results.
Even when I had shipped projects.
Even when I had proof.
Then one sentence shifted everything for me:
“Ship yourself the way you ship your products.”
That line forced me to stop shrinking and start showing my work — even while I was still evolving.
Because an MVP is still valuable.
Still usable.
Still worthy of being seen.
And so are you.
This 30-day series is my way of documenting the lessons that helped me grow — and maybe helping someone else grow too.
✨ Lesson 2 drops later today.
Save this, share it with someone who needs it, and follow the journey.

As 2025 winds down, here’s the reminder guiding my pace:
“Do what you can, the best you can, with what you have, right where you are.”
December can feel heavy with reflection and unfinished goals, but showing up consistently — even softly — is progress.
Wishing you clarity, calm, and small wins all month long.
What’s one thing you’re focusing on in December? 💬

“Not every week is about launching something.
Some weeks are for planning, resting, and finding clarity again.
If you’re in your quiet work era — you’re still building.” 🌱
