A friend had a career success that flowed from an exit that happened quickly. Her reflection was that she was at the right place at the right time. Another friend recently did a panel with a couple of successful folks. One of them went on about how it was his growth mindset that led to his success. I’d be surprised if the true drivers of his success were any different from hers. The difference often isn’t the story. It’s the willingness to tell it honestly. However, that kind of honestly and self-awareness — being upfront about the role of luck and timing — says a lot about a person’s perspective and groundedness.
