A success can become more meaningful when it gives someone else a useful example.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Results that stay private are finished when they happen. The same result, described honestly to someone standing where you once stood, keeps working: it shows a path, and quietly tells another person that the thing is possible for people like them. That second life costs you nothing except a willingness to be specific.

Tell someone the unglamorous version of something that worked for you: how long it took, what you got wrong, what you would skip. Choose a person who is a year or two behind you rather than an audience. It is a small conversation and it is often the part of a success that lasts longest.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Whom could your success show that a path like it exists?
