Success = Q x R.

Where Q = Quality of your work

And R = Recognition - It’s context, the rooms you’re in, who see’s you working, your audience.

Albert -László Barabás, a network scientist, ran a study on Wikipedia editors. Two people on the same platform with the same skills, same quality of work.

One was randomly given an “Editor of the Week” badge, the other way not.

12% of those without the badge earned future awards. But with the badge, 25% got them… more than double.

The only difference being who got recognised first. Been seen (R) raises your chances of (S).

Get out there.
