THE PROXIMITY TAX

Are you confusing presence with power? This insightful short defines the critical difference between Proximity (simply being near a resource or person) and Access (the earned, respected right to engage and influence). We argue that The Proximity Tax is the cost paid by those who mistake mere nearness for actual value, often leading to devaluation and waste. True success lies in treating genuine Access with high esteem—recognizing it as a valuable, limited resource—and cultivating the character that ensures that access is maintained and maximized. Stop hovering and start earning your seat at the table.
