The biggest career trap isn’t working on the wrong things—
It’s working on the 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 that don’t really matter.
Early in my career I confused being busy with being impactful.
I solved problems daily, but never asked myself if they were the 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 important ones.
Here are 4 immediate ways to create impact and accelerate your growth:
1/ Dive deeper into the data to size the opportunity
2/ Speak directly to your customers
3/ Pressure-test your priorities with your manager in your next 1:1
4/ Run cheap(er) validations before you commit
Not every problem is worth solving.
Always start with: “𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 I solve this?”
The top performers I know don’t just work hard.
They work on what matters 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵.
What’s one thing you do before jumping into a task—to make sure it’s worth doing?
