I’m not dumb. I’m a professional engineer in two states. I have over twenty years experience in my industry. Yet I can’t earn a promotion to save me. I know how to conduct a meeting. I know how to manage a project, I know how to speak in public. Yet I don’t even try to sell my skills to folks who could better enable my career. I’ve got to do better. I’ve got to show confidence. I’ve got to move ahead.

I’ve got a long way to go. This will probably be the most difficult change I’ve ever attempted. I’m really seeing the gap between where I am and where I have to be. Mostly, I see how my career has faltered and how my home life has gotten out of control. I’ve got to start building confidence in my own person—setting my own goals and doing what it takes to make them happen. I’ve got to start standing on my own two feet.
