The divide between winners and losers isn't talent, it’s tolerance for monotony. Anyone can show up with intensity when they feel inspired. The winners are the ones who execute the unglamorous, repetitive basics with precision on the days motivation never shows up.
I refuse to worship gatekeepers ever again. Asking for opportunities is the worst feeling in the world. Why should someone be so privileged that they get to decide your future? Stop playing permission games. Use the internet to build leverage, and shamelessly self-promote. Create a world where opportunities come to you instead of applying for them like a slave. Asking for permission is a choice. And it only leads to poverty. It’s time to choose yourself.
