You don’t notice pressure building

Life doesn’t stop throwing hard problems at you. You just get more used to dealing with them over time, and you don’t overreact as much as you did when you were younger. It’s like the frog in a kettle - if you slowly turn up the temperature, it doesn’t realize it’s getting worse. That’s what happens in business as you take on more responsibility.

The habit that gets you promoted

Every day, after I finished my work, I went to my boss and asked, "I'm done with what I had to do today. Is there anything else I can help with?" Sometimes the answer was no. Sometimes it was yes. Over time, my boss started seeing me as their right-hand person. And when new opportunities came up, I was the one they thought of first. Every extra task was also a chance to learn parts of my boss's job. My advice is simple: be your boss's right-hand person. Show up every day and ask, "What else can I do?"
