Lesson 14 of 32
Follow Up Or Fall Behind
Follow-up is the secret weapon of the relentless. Surprisingly few people master this simple practice.
The Lesson
Many people have a default approach of waiting to see what happens. When you are the one who consistently follows up, you immediately stand out. A thoughtful follow-up demonstrates commitment, not desperation. It proves you're playing the long game. While others assume silence means rejection, you should assume it just means busyness.
The difference between a missed connection and a real opportunity often comes down to a simple, gentle persistence. Make follow-up a core part of your routine, not an afterthought. This single habit will create chances that otherwise wouldn't exist, turning brief interactions into meaningful relationships and transforming your career through what seems like a minor administrative task.
The Question
What relationship or opportunity are you letting fade away simply because you assume someone else will reach out first - when that same assumption is probably keeping both of you waiting for the other person to make the move?
