No chance this situation doesn’t happen to you

No matter how good you are and how much you prepare, things outside your control affect performance and results. These external factors don't determine performance and results, but they do affect them. They contribute to the equation. You contribute, too.

When things outside your control start to affect performance, your contribution becomes more important. You must elevate your contribution to earn the result you want. Your contribution must be more and better than before.

You aren't the only factor involved. But you are the most important factor.

Brick by brick. Do the work.
