We live in a culture obsessed with the “overnight success.” We see the finished product, the viral moment, and the stage-side applause. What we rarely see is the silence that preceded it. Statistics suggest that 97% of people quit because they believe their effort isn’t working. They look at the scoreboard, see no change, and […]

But there is a silent reality in the professional world: 90% of your biggest opportunities come from rooms you aren’t even in yet. […]
We’ve all been there. We tell ourselves we’ll start that ambitious project when we feel fully “inspired.” We’ll launch the business when we have more “support.” We’ll change our habits once someone gives us a clear green light.
