Most people truly thrive by leveraging their ability to mobilize resources.

Most people who are considered successful in the conventional sense didn't invent the light bulb like Edison did. Rather, they skillfully managed the expectations that bosses had of them, that their colleagues had of them, and that the market had of them.

They changed their own valuation. Do you understand?

What they changed was their valuation, not their inherent value. They weren't that exceptional; they weren't going to win a Nobel Prize. Yet they earned far more than those who actually did. This is what expectation management looks like—it's about altering your perceived valuation rather than your true worth.

This is the correct way for most people to change their fate. In fact, it may very well be the only way.
