‘How Do I Get Past My Insecurity at Work After Being Fired?’

By Kimberly Brown

Hi Kimberly,

A few months before the pandemic started, I was fired from a job I had been very successful in for several years. The reason was not performance related — my work was highly regarded throughout the company — it was political. I definitely made mistakes, but thought I had recovered, so it came as a shock.

I did a good job rebounding. I got a career coach and tried independent consulting, including a six-month contract job with a top company. Several of my clients wanted me to join their companies full time. During the Great Resignation, my then-boyfriend and I both took breaks from full-time work. I worked on a novel, we got married, and I focused on things other than my career. When I decided to go back to work, I landed a good job at a reputable company in my field relatively quickly. So it’s been a bit of a shock to find I’m having serious issues with fear and insecurity at my current job related to getting fired almost three years ago.

How to Get Rich (Without Getting Lucky) by Naval Ravikant

Naval’s philosophy is not about quick schemes, but building wealth through leverage, self-awareness, and long-term thinking . His ideas were first shared on Twitter and expanded in podcasts and interviews. 💡 Core Principles: 1. Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status Wealth = assets that earn while you sleep (businesses, products, media). Money = a tool for transferring wealth. Status = a zero-sum game (if someone wins, another loses). 🔑 2. Play Long-Term Games with Long-Term People Build relationships with people known for integrity. Reputation compounds like capital. 🛠 3. Learn to Build and Sell “If you can build it, you can create wealth. If you can sell it, you can monetize it.” Learn specific knowledge (unique skills that feel like play to you, but are valuable to others). Combine with accountability , leverage , and judgment . 🧠 4. Arm Yourself with Specific Knowledge Not taught in school, often discovered through curiosity and per...
