High performers aren't the smartest or hardest working.
They're the ones who:

↳ Your blind spots vanish when you build your team
"More hours = more success" ❌
↳ Focus and leverage beat brute force
↳ Your best work happens in strategic sprints
"My ideas must be original" ❌
↳ True innovation builds on existing insights

"I need to know everything first" ❌
↳ Experience only comes from doing
