The most successful people do these 3 things:

You don't need to have all the answers to be successful. 

It comes from being brave enough to ask the right questions, take the leap, and figure it out along the way. 

So many of us wait for the perfect moment, the perfect plan, or the perfect answer. 

But here’s the truth: you’ll never have it all figured out from the start.

Real success is about being curious, taking action, and learning as you go. 

It’s about trusting yourself to make bold moves, even when the path ahead isn’t fully clear.

👉 Here are 3 ways to start moving forward today:

1. Ask better questions: Instead of asking, "What if I fail?" try asking, "What can I learn from this?" 

2. Take imperfect action: Waiting for everything to be perfect only leads to missed opportunities. Make that call, pitch the idea, or start the project. 

3. Embrace uncertainty: Success isn’t about having a foolproof plan. It’s about trusting yourself to adapt, grow, and figure it out along the way.

This Is What Separates the 1%

Most people wait for the perfect moment but the 1%?

They don’t wait, they act.

A great curation by Cesar Solis.

👉 It’s not about luck.
👉 It’s not about resources.
👉 It’s about MINDSET.

While others focus on why they can’t, the 1% focus on how they will.

🔑 Relentless consistency: They show up when it’s tough, when they don’t feel like it, and when no one else is watching.
🔑 Unwavering vision: They stay laser-focused on their goals, blocking out distractions, and saying no to anything that doesn’t align with their future.
🔑 Continuous learning: They’re always evolving. Every setback is a lesson.

Success isn’t reserved for the chosen few, it’s for those who choose it.

Every. Single. Day.

"Later" is the biggest lie we tell ourselves.

We always think we have more time but...

The truth is, “later” is a thief. 

It robs us of the now, those opportunities right in front of us that we keep putting off. 

Whether it's a dream you’ve been wanting to chase, a conversation you’ve been meaning to have, or a simple moment of joy...

Don’t wait.

📌 Take action today with these simple steps:

1. Break it down: That big goal you’ve been postponing? Break it into small, manageable steps and do the first one today. Momentum builds from the tiniest actions.

2. Schedule it: The conversation you’ve been meaning to have? Put it in your calendar now. Don’t leave room for “someday”, make it today.

3. Prioritize joy: Even small moments like that cup of coffee or taking a walk can bring joy. Don’t put off the little things, they add up to a life well-lived.

The things you keep postponing could be the moments that change everything.

Don’t wait for “later” to become “too late.”

Your network is your net worth.

It’s not about the number of connections or how full your contact list is.

It’s about the quality of those relationships.

When you invest in meaningful relationships (the kind where trust, support, and mutual growth thrive), you create opportunities that are far more valuable than any transaction.

Here are three ways to invest in your network:

➡️ Give more than you take. Share insights, lend a hand, or celebrate someone’s wins without expecting anything in return.
➡️ Seek depth over breadth. Focus on nurturing a few meaningful connections instead of spreading yourself too thin.
➡️ Be genuinely curious. Take time to understand people’s goals and passions, it builds trust and fosters stronger bonds.

Some of the best opportunities in my life, professionally and personally, didn't come from cold outreach or sheer luck. 

They came from the relationships I've nurtured over time.

Ask yourself: What’s one way you’ve invested in a meaningful relationship recently?

Your year won’t be defined by everything you try.
It will be defined by the one thing you don’t back out of.
__

That’s why the most powerful way to create a year-defining year
is to choose one commitment.

Some people call this a misogi.

A misogi is:
 ↳ deliberately hard
 ↳ slightly scary
 ↳ meaningful enough that if you do just this, you’ll know the year mattered
—
So how do you find yours?

Here are a few questions I’ve used in the past to find mine:

1. What’s the one thing you’re avoiding because it would require becoming someone new?

2. If you couldn’t quit halfway through the year, what would you commit to?

3. What effort would make this year feel unmistakably different from the last few?

4. If success wasn’t guaranteed, what would still feel worth attempting?

5. What single commitment would simplify your decisions all year long?

—
And if you’re looking for inspiration, here are a few real-world examples:

↳ Publish 100 pieces of content in 100 days
↳ Have uncomfortable conversations you’ve been avoiding
↳ Pitch yourself to 50 people you admire
↳ Complete 75 Hard
↳ Train for and compete in HYROX
↳ Travel solo to a country you’ve never been
—

Most people spend the year chasing momentum.
The ones who change their life choose one brave thing,
and stay with it longer than feels comfortable.

↳ Distinguish between relationships that drain versus restore your energy.⁣

⁣
7: Creative Rest⁣
↳ Expose yourself to beauty and wonder instead of constantly producing content.⁣

7 Types of Rest That Actually Restore Your Energy

Bad decisions aren't just costly ⁣
⁣
They compound over time.⁣
⁣
The difference between happy people and everyone else isn't luck.⁣
⁣
It's their ability to consistently make choices that align with their goals⁣.
⁣
Not their current emotions.⁣
⁣
Here are 8 decision-making frameworks that eliminate regret:⁣
⁣
1: The 10-10-10 Rule⁣

3: Reversable Choices⁣

4: The Regret Minimization Framework⁣
↳ Imagine yourself at 80 years old looking back at this moment.⁣
↳ Choose the path that minimizes regret from your future self's perspective.⁣
⁣
5: Opportunity Cost Analysis⁣
↳ Every yes is a no to something else - choose the best value option.⁣
↳ The best decisions aren't just good, they're better than all alternatives.⁣
⁣
6: Energy and Intuition Check⁣
↳ Notice how your body feels when you imagine each option.⁣
↳ Decisions that align with your authentic self create energy.⁣
⁣
7: Stakeholder Impact Assessment⁣
↳ Consider how your decision affects everyone important in your life.⁣
↳ Great decisions create value for multiple people.⁣
⁣
8: The Advice Test⁣
↳ Ask what you'd tell your best friend if they were facing this exact same decision.⁣
↳ We often give others clearer guidance than we give ourselves.⁣
⁣
Which framework will you try?⁣

Senior QA Automation Engineer @ Resilience | 3M+ impressions helping testers land automation roles

🎉 10,000 Followers!
 
Here’s How It All Started

Exactly 1 year ago, I was sitting in a quarterly planning meeting at Planoly when something clicked.

We had invited Hetali Mehta, MPH to speak about growing your personal brand on LinkedIn. She broke down the fundamentals of consistent posting, and I was hooked. I’d already been watching peers like Truett Bloxsom post more frequently and wondered if I could do the same.

That day, I posted my first piece of content. I haven’t stopped since.

Here’s what 1 year of posting 6 days a week has brought me:
→ ~9,000 new followers in the QA automation space
→ More than 3 million impressions
→ Countless connections with incredible QA engineers worldwide
→ A full content business process that supports my education platform
→ More learning than I could have imagined from this amazing community

The real win? It’s not the follower count. It’s the conversations, the questions you’ve asked, the wins you’ve shared, and the incredible QA professionals I’ve had the privilege to connect with.

To everyone who’s engaged, commented, shared, or simply followed along: thank you. You’ve made this journey worth every single post.

Here’s to another year of growth, learning, and building together!

Being reachable all the time is a liability.

Not because people don’t matter.
But because clarity requires distance.

When you’re always plugged in:
- You respond instead of reflect
- You optimize for urgency, not importance
- You let other people’s priorities shape your thinking

Some of my best decisions didn’t come from conversations.
They came from disconnection.

Long walks.
No notifications.
No opinions.

If everything feels noisy lately, don’t add more input.
Remove it.

That’s where direction comes from.

Starting over isn’t failure. 
It’s the beginning of a better story. 
Here’s why:

You invested years in this path. You built skills. Made connections. Put in the work.

And now you’re thinking about walking away from all of it to start something new.

That feels terrifying. Like throwing everything away. Like admitting you were wrong.

But what if starting over is the smartest decision you could make?

7 reasons starting over might be exactly what you need:

1️⃣ You’re not losing your experience, you’re redirecting it
↳ The skills you built don’t disappear when you change paths. They transfer in ways you can’t see yet.

2️⃣ Staying in the wrong story is more expensive than starting a new one
↳ Every year you spend doing work that doesn’t fit is a year you could have spent building something that does.

3️⃣ Your new story starts with everything you learned from the old one
↳ You’re not starting from zero. You’re starting from experience.

4️⃣ The best careers rarely follow a straight line
↳ Most successful people changed direction multiple times before they found their fit.

5️⃣ What got you here won’t get you there
↳ Sometimes the only way forward is to choose a completely different direction.

6️⃣ You already know what doesn’t work
↳ That knowledge is worth more than you think. Now you can avoid those paths entirely.

7️⃣ Regret from not trying beats regret from trying every time
↳ You’ll never wonder “what if” because you’ll actually know.

Starting over doesn’t erase your story. It adds a chapter where you chose yourself over comfort.

Don’t be afraid to rewrite your career. You might like your new story better.

Have you ever started over? What happened?

When people feel valued, they give more. 
When they feel invisible, they give the minimum.

7 ways to show appreciation that actually matters:

1️⃣ Recognize wins publicly, not just in private 
↳ A quick shoutout in a team meeting carries more weight than you think.

2️⃣ Give credit where it's actually due 
↳ Don't take credit for your team's work. Attach their names to the results they drove.

3️⃣ Say thank you for the small things, not just the big projects 
↳ Appreciation for daily effort builds loyalty faster than occasional praise for major wins.

4️⃣ Ask for their input and actually use it 
↳ Nothing says "you matter" like implementing someone's idea and acknowledging it came from them.

5️⃣ Invest in their growth 
↳ Appreciation isn't just words. It's giving them opportunities to develop skills and advance.

6️⃣ Respect their time and boundaries 
↳ Saying you value someone while texting them at 10 PM sends the opposite message.

7️⃣ Pay them what they're worth 
↳ Appreciation without fair compensation is just empty words.

A person who feels appreciated will always do more than is expected. 
A person who feels invisible will do exactly what's required and nothing more.

Yesterday's rejection doesn't define today's potential. 
Here's how to reset:

Missed the deadline. 
Bombed the interview. 
Got passed over for the promotion. 
Made a mistake that cost the team.

And now you're replaying it over and over, letting yesterday's failure steal today's focus.

Stop. Today is a clean slate.

7 ways to move forward instead of staying stuck:

1️⃣ Acknowledge what happened without dwelling on it 
↳ Process the failure, extract the lesson, then let it go.

2️⃣ Take one action today that moves you forward 
↳ Send one application. Make one connection. Learn one new skill. Forward momentum beats perfect planning.

3️⃣ Treat today like the fresh start it actually is 
↳ You're not the person who failed yesterday. You're the person who learned and is trying again today.

4️⃣ Focus on what you can control right now 
↳ You can't change what already happened. You can change what you do in the next hour.

5️⃣ Stop punishing yourself with replays 
↳ Every minute spent reliving yesterday's mistake is a minute you're not building today's progress.

6️⃣ Set a new expectation for today 
↳ Don't carry yesterday's defeat into today's opportunities. Show up like you're capable of winning.

7️⃣ Give yourself permission to be better than your worst moment 
↳ One bad interview doesn't make you a bad candidate. One failed project doesn't make you incompetent.

Every day is a chance to begin again.
Stop letting yesterday's failures dictate today's expectations. 

The job search that feels impossible today could turn around tomorrow. The skill you're struggling with now could click next week.

Progress isn't linear. 
Some days you move forward. 
Some days you reset. 

Both are necessary.

Which of these do you need to hear most right now?

Nobody cares about your ideas. 
They care about your results. 
Here’s why:

You’ve been talking about starting that project for three months. You’ve told everyone about the career change you’re planning. You’ve shared your goals with anyone who’ll listen.

And nothing has changed.

Here’s the truth: ideas are worthless until you execute them. The market doesn’t reward intentions. It rewards outcomes.

7 reasons to stop talking and start building:

1️⃣ Ideas don’t prove capability, execution does
↳ Anyone can think of something good. Not everyone can actually make it happen.

2️⃣ Talking drains the energy you need to build
↳ Every conversation about what you’re going to do uses motivation you could spend actually doing it.

3️⃣ People remember results, not plans
↳ No one hires you because you had a great idea. They hire you because you built something that worked.

4️⃣ Feedback on real work beats validation on concepts
↳ Building something teaches you what actually matters. Talking about it keeps you in theory.

5️⃣ Execution reveals problems planning never shows
↳ You don’t know what you don’t know until you actually try to build it.

6️⃣ Finished projects open doors that ideas never will
↳ A portfolio piece gets you interviews. An idea you never built gets you nothing.

7️⃣ The gap between talkers and doers is where opportunity lives
↳ While everyone else is still discussing it, you’ve already shipped it.

Stop telling people your big ideas. Build them and tell us what happened.

Employers don’t want to hear about your potential. They want to see proof that you can deliver.

❌ So stop planning. 
❌ Stop discussing. 
❌ Stop preparing.

✅ Start building. 
✅ Start shipping. 
✅ Start showing results.

What’s one thing you’ve been talking about that you need to just build?

You’re viewing your struggles as setbacks. 
They’re actually preparation.

Here’s how to shift your perspective:

Most people treat career challenges like obstacles in the way of success.

❌ Getting rejected and thinking you’re not good enough
❌ Facing difficulty and assuming you’re on the wrong path
❌ Experiencing setbacks and viewing them as failures
❌ Going through hard times and questioning if it’s worth it

But what if everything you’re going through right now is preparing you for exactly what you asked for?

Here’s what’s actually happening:

✅ Rejection teaches you resilience you’ll need when you get the bigger opportunity
✅ Difficulty builds skills that wouldn’t develop in an easy role
✅ Setbacks force you to refine your approach until it actually works
✅ Hard times prove you can handle what’s coming next

The rejections. The late nights. The moments of doubt. The times you wanted to quit but didn’t.
None of it is wasted. It’s all preparation.

What if you stopped resisting the process and started trusting it?

Here are 10 brutal career truths most people
only learn after years of frustration 👇

1/ Your degree doesn’t guarantee success
Skills and results matter more than the school name.

2/ Loyalty isn’t always rewarded
The biggest raises often come from switching roles.

3/ You are your own best advocate
If you don’t speak up, no one else will.

4/ Comfort zones kill growth
Playing it safe rarely leads to big opportunities.

5/ Networking is non-negotiable
Most jobs come from people, not applications.

6/ Technical skills expire
What’s valuable today can be outdated tomorrow.

7/ Work-life balance needs boundaries
Companies take as much as you give.

8/ Politics matter (like it or not) 
How decisions are made affects your career.

9/ Feedback you need won’t be given
You have to actively ask for it.

10/ Your market value constantly changes
Pay should reflect today’s skills, not yesterday’s role.

The sooner you accept these, the faster your career starts working for you.

AI won’t take your job. 
But it will reshape how you learn the skills needed to keep it.

In the AI era, continuous upskilling isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s survival.

Static docs, long courses, and outdated training models can’t keep up with how fast work is changing.

That’s why Synthesia's $200M Series E at a $4B valuation matters.

They’re not building “AI video content.”

They’re building AI video agents - a new system for how knowledge is created, updated, and shared at scale.

Video is evolving from something you watch into something that can talk, listen, reason, and take action.

This is what learning looks like when speed actually matters.

And why this category is just getting started.

Worth watching closely!
