Stop Confusing Effort with Value

"I worked 60 hours this week."

So what?

In the modern market, effort is not the metric. Impact is. If it takes you 60 hours to do what a top performer does in 30, you aren't a hero. You are inefficient.

The Busy Badge is Worthless. We have confused exhaustion with dedication. Companies do not pay for your sweat. They pay for your results.

Stop trying to prove how hard you work. Start proving how much you solve.

The goal isn't to be the busiest person in the room. It's to be the most effective.
