Original Advice
“DONT: Confuse attention with genuine influence.”
Trade Applause For Actual Power
Spotlight doesn’t crown you; it blinds you. The room claps because it’s easy, not because they will move when you speak. Likes stack up. Nothing shifts. You glow, the project stalls. That’s not leadership. That’s theater. Influence shows up in changed calendars, reallocated budgets, quieter rooms doing the work you sparked. If your name trends and nothing advances, you’re performing for a mirror.
Attention is currency with inflation. The more you print, the less it buys. Influence compounds when you deliver outcomes others depend on. It’s measured by who revises their plans because of your words, not who repeats them. Choose boring follow-up over shiny entrance. Build systems people can trust without watching you. When your absence still moves the needle, you own the lever, not the lights.
Cosmic Context
You’re Sun-ruled: visible, warm, undeniable. Lead like a star that sets and still sustains life, not a sparkler that dies when the crowd leaves.
