Why Being Too Good at Your Job Guarantees Career Failure
Become the Planet, Not the Satellite
Stop Chasing, Start Attracting Success

Stop whining about nepotism while you're sitting alone perfecting your resume - that "unqualified" hire with connections just lapped you because relationships outweigh your precious certifications. The game was never fair, you just refused to play it.

You're exhausting yourself chasing VIPs at networking events like a desperate groupie, while real gravity centers sit still and let opportunities orbit them. Stop being a career satellite and become the damn planet people want to circle around.

Your skills are the engine, but you're trying to drive without fuel or amplification - that's why you're stuck in neutral watching connected amateurs zoom past. Skills without network is like having a Ferrari with no gas and no Instagram to show it off.
