Your reputation travels faster than you think.

Several years ago, my daughter was working in a tough environment.

Lazy coworkers. Helpless leadership. She was doing the heavy lifting, getting none of the credit.

I told her: give it your all anyway.

She gave me a look.

Fair. It’s frustrating.

But here’s the thing—you don’t do it for them.

You do it for you.

So you can look in the mirror and say: I did my best.

And here’s the long game:
People notice.
Some of them move on.
Some remember you.
Some bring opportunity with them.

Your reputation travels faster than you think.
