You can be better at the work and still lose the opportunity. Talent matters, but timing, relationships, market conditions, and preparation also influence who wins.

In this MasterClass, I explain why success requires more than skill, how to focus on the variables you control, and why staying in the game gives your ability more chances to meet opportunity. Stop expecting talent to handle the parts of success that require positioning, adaptability, and persistence.
