Let’s cut to the chase: you don’t need a permission slip to live the life you’re meant for.

But here you are—second-guessing your gut, waiting for someone else to “sign off” on your decisions like it’s middle school and you’re asking to go to the bathroom.

I see you.

And I say this with love (and maybe a side-eye): you are too powerful to keep outsourcing your confidence.

Why We Keep Asking for Permission

It’s sneaky, isn’t it? We’ve been trained to get the gold star, the thumbs up, the “yes, you’re doing it right!” since childhood. 

And now?

That programming shows up in real estate negotiations, team leadership, and even in your own life decisions.

• Should I take on this client or this deal?
• Should I raise my prices?
• Am I “too much” if I ask for what I really want?

You’re waiting for someone to say, “You’ve got this.” But here’s the kicker: they don’t know. You do. Your intuition is your competitive advantage, but if you don’t trust it, you’ll always play small.

3 Practical Power Moves to Stop Asking Permission

1. Listen to Your First Answer

Your gut speaks first. Your doubt? She shows up second with a spreadsheet of worst-case scenarios.
Next time you’re faced with a decision, pause and ask yourself:
What’s my first instinct? What’s the answer before I start overthinking?
Write it down. Trust it. That’s your truth

2. Start Saying “No” Like a CEO

Saying “no” with love is a power move.
You don’t need to defend it, explain it, or wrap it in bubble wrap.
Try this line:

“I appreciate the opportunity, but that doesn’t align with my priorities right now.”

Firm. Kind. Done.The world won’t end. And your confidence will skyrocket.

3. Build a ‘Bravery Muscle’

Confidence doesn’t show up like Amazon Prime—it’s built through reps.
Pick one thing this week you’d normally wait for “approval” on and just… do it.
Launch the idea. Raise your rates. Pitch the dream project.
The more you choose yourself, the quieter the need for external validation becomes.

Permission vs. Power

Here’s the truth: you already know.

You already know which clients are draining your energy.
You already know which ideas could change your business (and your life).
And you already know what you’d say if you trusted yourself fully.

So, what if this week, you stop waiting for someone to tell you it’s okay?
What if you decided to trust yourself the way you’d trust your best agent to handle a million-dollar listing?

Your Next Step

You’ve spent enough time playing small. It’s time to stand in your power, make bold moves, and trust that inner voice that’s been whispering all along:
