Playing the long game

There are a million ways to be successful.

A hundred thousand businesses you could start. Multiple services you could offer. Countless products you could produce. Ways you could be rich, famous for your work, and happy beyond belief.

Whoever you are, you can be the best in the world at what you do.

As long as you do one thing.

The only one thing all successful people agree on.

(Not morning routines, investments, or which business book to read)

But this:

Don't give up

That's it.

New podcast episode just out, on exactly this topic: playing the long game

My cohost Chris Do and I cover:

• How to be the best in the world at what you do
• What to pursue (and prioritise) to create success
• How your parental dynamic shapes who you become

Plus the patriarchy(!), which business game you are playing, and how to sit at big stakes tables.
