Why Can Previous Success Prevent Future Growth?
The same behaviors that fuel success—drive, confidence, charm, and stubbornness—can harden into pride and defensiveness. What got you “here” may block progress “there.”
Metaphor
Climbing higher with the same tactics is like insisting on using training wheels during a mountain race. The very stability that once kept you upright now drags and wobbles at speed.
To keep growing, you have to shed old aids and adapt to the new terrain.
