Why working harder stopped working

Nobody ever told you this, so you probably blame yourself.
Working harder doesn’t work anymore.
And it’s not because you’re lazy.
It’s because effort stopped being the deciding factor a long time ago.
Two people can work the same hours.
One stays stuck.
One pulls ahead fast.
That difference isn’t motivation.
It’s leverage.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
most people aren’t failing.
They’re just applying effort in capped environments.
That’s why motivation doesn’t fix anything.
That’s why inspiration wears off.
What changes outcomes is tools—frameworks for deciding where effort belongs.
That’s what I focus on sharing.
Not hype. Not hustle. Not promises.
If your work isn’t translating into progress, stop asking what’s wrong with you.
Start asking what tool you’re missing.
