When you make it through the door, don’t let it close behind you. Somebody’s running to catch it.

Getting in is partly effort and partly which doors happened to be open to you. Once through, the easiest thing available is to turn around and treat the whole thing as personal merit. Holding the door costs almost nothing and is the difference between a path and a one off.

Think of one person a step behind you who wants what you just got. Tell them how it actually happened, including the boring parts and the lucky ones. Introduce them to somebody who could help.
