In order for a carder to feel success, do you need to experience failure in carding?

[Tomcat]

These myths are the result of social influence. It doesn't matter how and when you learned them - in childhood from your parents, at school from classmates, at work from colleagues or in a bar from friends - one way or another, they have already taken root in your consciousness. And now it is very difficult to get rid of them.

Are they stopping you from becoming successful carder? Probably yes. But what exactly are false beliefs that become obstacles and what is really hidden behind them?

Here are the 10 most popular myths and their debunkings from top experts.

1. Successful is the one carder who looks successful​

In large cities, it can be difficult to know who is successful and who is not. Joseph Bradley, vice president of Internet of Things and Digital Services at Cisco, grew up in Mountain View. But long before starting his entrepreneurial career, he worked as a cashier at Wells Fargo.

Bradley saw clients driving ultra-expensive luxury cars into the bank's parking lot and thought they were rich. But when opening information on their accounts, he more than once saw a measly $100 there. And vice versa, when an unremarkable guy in a simple T-shirt and jeans entered the hall, the screen unexpectedly showed his VIP status.

Pretty soon Bradley realized that people who look successful are not really successful, because they spend all their money on showing off to others.

2. To succeed, you must first experience complete failure in carding​

Many carders claim that their first failed projects gave them irreplaceable experience. And in Silicon Valley, the stigma of being a loser has even become a badge of honor. The more often you fail, the more you are praised. This is a kind of competition in which there are no winners.

However, the cult of failure is not just here: it is worshiped throughout the tech industry. Bradley says: “Loving failure is delusional. Anyone who says they want to get through the dark patch first doesn't know what they're talking about.”

However, think about it, who in their right mind would want to fail? “To move forward, you need to pick up the pace of learning and become better at what you do,” Bradley says. Then you will achieve success and avoid unnecessary failures.

3. You need to know everything​

Have you probably met know-it-alls among your carders who would like to understand absolutely everything? Or carders who would not part with a carding even while eating? Of course, there is nothing wrong with self-education. But for such carders, it's not about studying. They make every effort to thoroughly research their industry, their competitors, potential clients, etc.

Yes, information is power, but you don't need to know everything. “You don't fail because you don't know something. “You fail because you are using false judgment,” Bradley notes.

Each carder believes in something different. This belief determines our thoughts, actions and decisions. So, how not to become a hostage to myths?

“Every day you have to question your confidence,” Bradley explains. The problem is not the unknown. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. If you can think critically about what you believe to be true, you will ultimately succeed and be able to get ahead.”

4. You need to be able to do everything​

There is no need not only to know everything, but also to succeed in everything. Some carders start carding with the belief that they need to be the best at everything, otherwise others will doubt their abilities. But usually the one who chases everything at once is limited to superficial knowledge and does not really master a single skill.

“You don't have to be able to do everything,” says Patrick Whitham, president and CEO of Paragon BioTeck, Inc. — One of the most important lessons that life has taught me is that it is enough to understand one thing well and deeply and constantly work in this direction. Yes, it’s not much, but this approach is much more effective.”

Instead of trying to excel at everything, focus on your field and your true strengths.

There is no need to chase all the rabbits. When professionals work as a team and focus on what they do best, you can take a deep breath and relax because others will certainly come to the rescue where you lack knowledge.

5. You can handle everything yourself​

When things go well, self-confidence appears. And if this happens, many stop relying on the opinions of others and take everything into their own hands, claiming that they are the ones who make the final decisions.

If you recognize yourself or someone you know in this statement, it's time to sound the alarm. In carding, it's easy to get overwhelmed and take everything on yourself, forgetting that success requires a team and a diverse perspective on things.

“Our company solves the problems that arise in licensing and obtaining new drugs and technologies, helping clients quickly overcome bureaucratic barriers,” says Witham. — A lot depends on relationships with others... We have strong partners in other areas, thanks to their help we solve the problems of our clients. Use your connections and experience. Create and develop relationships that benefit all parties.”

Witham couldn't create a million-dollar corporation on his own—and neither can you. So put together a team and achieve success together.

6. You can't admit mistakes.​

“Admitting your mistakes is not only okay, but necessary—so others can see you struggling,” says Michael Dennin, vice chancellor for educational affairs and dean of the college at the University of California, Irvine. “Leaders must take responsibility for their mistakes and learn from them in order to move forward.”

When you take responsibility for your actions, others will see you as someone who will not sugarcoat reality. They will understand that you can be trusted. You will not lose your authority - on the contrary, honesty and openness will strengthen your position.

7. Leadership cannot be learned.​

Perhaps you think that you cannot become a leader, you can only be born one, and in general this is not about you. It's thoughts like these that may have you stuck in a boring carding and day after day wondering how much longer you can endure this monotony.

There is a way out - you need to master leadership skills.

“Don't wait for an opportunity to get to the top,” says Dennin. — Go to special courses, and if you don't have time for them, find a good tutorial or other educational resource that will help you develop leadership skills. Use your new knowledge to practice your acquired skills. Hard work and a positive attitude will help you become what you've always wanted to be - a leader."

Challenge false stereotypes, believe in yourself and build the career in carding life of your dreams before it's too late.
