And fixes that boost your career:
The secret behind success isn't what many think:

High performers build their careers on habits:

↳ never compromise
And that includes what they absolutely won't do:

The gap between your status quo and your dreams?
Not talents.
Just habits.
Start cutting the ones,
that hold you back.
One by one.
And watch your career lift off.
Which habit will you change first?
