7 Bitter Pills to Swallow: (A decade of career lessons in 60 seconds) In 10 years, I've pivoted across 3 industries. Only 8 months ago, I dove into logistics software. Each pivot forced me to confront hard truths. They started with the person in the mirror - The one making excuses. The one avoiding conversations I needed to have with myself. Here are 7 truths I had to confront along the way: 1/ Nobody cares about your potential. ↳ The world only cares about what you actually do. ↳ “I could have” is worthless until you turn it into results. 2/ Your habits got you here. Change them to change your life. ↳ Your habits are either building your future or repeating your past. ↳ Small choices compound into life sentences - or legacies. You decide. 3/ Rock bottom isn't the enemy. The comfortable middle is. ↳ Comfort is more dangerous than crisis - it kills your hunger and leaves you with regret. ↳ One day, you'll reminisce about your hard, transformative moments. 4/ If no one knows you, you don't exist. Build your brand. ↳ Talent means nothing if you're invisible. ↳ Your voice is powerful - use it until they can't ignore you. 5/ Your excuses sound ridiculous to everyone but you. ↳ Behind every excuse is a fear you haven’t acknowledged. ↳ Every "I'm not ready" is really "I'm too scared". 6/ Your identity is built on outdated stories. ↳ "I'm an angry guy" because you lost your temper as teenager. ↳ Your childhood labels aren't your adult identity. Outgrow them. 7/ 'Someday' quickly becomes 'never'. ↳ We all have a graveyard of dreams we'll "get to later”. ↳ Stop waiting for the perfect moment, it is not coming. Start confronting reality in 2025, And turn it into the year of your dreams. Agree? Disagree?
