Professional success is a culmination of many factors. Your education matters, maybe not as much as you think, but a degree in your field can really jump-start your progress. Your experience certainly matters, but that can only come to you after years of education. Your talent matters too, but aside from skill( which develop from experience) most of your talent is inmate, meaning you have a natural tendency to perform well in certain areas more than others.
Your network of contact matters, but you can't always control who you interact with. And ultimately, at least some of your career success is going to come down to a factor of luck.
Looking at these things, it seems like there is little you can control. But none of these things will matter if you neglect the most important things you need to create for yourself.
Let's stop here for now, we will continue in the next post. Love you all 😇
