How anyone can rewrite the rules of success | Martin Purvis | TEDxSt Albans
In this TEDx talk, Martin Purvis explores how technology has democratised opportunity and why success is more accessible than ever before. He argues that historical advantages (resources, connections, experience, and time) are no longer the only path to success. Today, technology, information, and accessible tools are freely available, giving anyone the chance to create their own opportunities. Martin encourages viewers to shift from a self-doubt mindset to one of empowerment, showing how overcoming self-doubt, proactive steps, smart choices, and leveraging resources can unlock unprecedented opportunities. Whatever you really want in life.
