Why You Should Lock In Instead of Lobbying (Especially When You’re Starting Out)
from Dear Young Person · host Ntongha Ekot
Everyone wants to be seen, but your beginning phase is not for lobbying; it’s for locking in.In a world that rewards noise, speed, and visibility, it’s easy to feel behind when others seem to be moving faster. This episode is a reminder that slow and steady still wins, and that consistency compounds, even when it looks like nothing is happening.In this conversation, I talk about why so many young people are tempted to lobby too early, chasing access, validation, and proximity, when what they actually need is focus, depth, and discipline.So many people quit quietly, not because they weren’t capable, but because the process felt too long. If you’re still standing, still trying, still showing up, that alone is worth honouring.This episode is a call to:Keep your head down Stay in your laneLock in on your craftTrust the processBecause when you truly lock in, you don’t need to lobby. You become the kind of person the right people want to talk to.If you’re in your beginning phase, this message is for you.
