Book
You Are Not That Important
Stop Planning. Stop Worrying. Just Start.
A short, direct argument for dropping ego and perfectionism long enough to begin the work that matters.
Companion
Stop overthinking. Get one imperfect action now.
Tell me what you’re overthinking. I’ll give you one thing to do now — not a plan, not a 12-step roadmap. A companion to the book, not a chatbot.
Origin
The story behind the book
I arrived in the UK with €230, no English, and no degree.
I slept in a park. I worked at McDonald's. I became a high dependency ambulance crew member working 12-hour shifts. Then, I taught myself to code on a second-hand laptop in my spare time.
Today I'm an independent senior mobile engineer and a published author.
If you've ever talked yourself out of something because you were afraid of what people might think, this book is for you.
About
What the book explores
It's not a motivational book. It's not about positive thinking or manifestation or hustle culture. It's about a simple, liberating truth: nobody is watching you fail. The audience you imagine, the one judging your every move, doesn't exist. Everyone is too busy worrying about their own lives to scrutinise yours. And once you really understand that, you're free to start. Start ugly. Start scared. Start before you're ready.
