You're Not Getting Ahead If You're Just Getting By by Derek MacDonald
What really happens when you're not selfish enough.
Read on Substack
Focusing on doing it faster makes a mess. Focusing on doing it well makes progress.
So if you’re feeling stuck, start with asking yourself:
- Where am I trying to speed up when I really need to slow down?
- What’s clogging this process that used to feel simple?
- What am I holding together that I shouldn’t?
Because you can be the most ambitious person in the room, but if the structure around you can’t support it?
You’re not getting ahead, you’re just getting by.
onward.
