What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
You are in control of your own success. Just because you work hard doesn't mean you'll immediately reap the benefits.
But if you put in the work, you'll continue to grow and get promoted. You're really your own competition. It doesn't matter what other people around you are doing; your competition is with yourself.
