Build and Maintain the Relationships That Sustain You

Nobody sustains a career through hard stretches alone, and the support that appears in a crisis was built long before it. The relationships that carry you through are the ones you invested in during the good times, especially the people willing to tell you the truth rather than only reassure you. Building that support system means keeping honest challengers close, asking for help before you are overwhelmed, and showing up for others when they are the ones struggling.
