Once you win, everybody studies your tape. Winning isn’t the end of the work, it’s the start of new work.

Success changes your situation mostly by making you the thing other people prepare for. What worked while nobody was paying attention stops working once they are. The ones who stay good treat a win as new information about what will be expected next time, rather than as somewhere to sit down.

After the next thing that goes well, take the night, then ask what you would do differently if everybody knew your moves. Change one of them before you have to. It is far easier while you are still ahead.
