the bar is lower than you think

We've often been led to believe that the world is driven by the most capable and qualified individuals. However, this isn't necessarily true. In this episode, we explore the illusion of meritocracy, the misconception about the required standards, and why overestimating authority can be misleading. Many individuals wait until they feel ready or chosen, while others, who may be less prepared but more proactive, are seizing opportunities, starting businesses, and making significant strides. If you've been holding back, waiting for another credential or sign, this episode is meant to inspire you to take action. 0:00: Intro1:10: The myth of meritocracy5:27: Play the right game9:44: Stay in motion11:20: You can choose to win #illusionofmeritocracy #success #opportunity #proactivity #misconception #authority #inspiration #motivation See show notes: https://inlet.fm/denee/episodes/699b445cf342a20d0c0919a3 Learn more about your ad choices.
