Ever noticed how some people always seem to be in the right place at the right time?
It’s not luck. It’s not talent.
It’s Initiative.
The Employee Who Got Promoted
A company needed someone to lead a new project. The manager didn’t ask for volunteers. But one employee saw the gap, researched the problem, and presented a solution.
He wasn’t the most experienced. He wasn’t the smartest.
But he got the job. Because he took initiative.
What Initiative Really Means
It’s not about waiting for orders.
It’s about spotting an opportunity and acting on it.
📌 Saw a problem? Try solving it.
📌 Want a promotion? Start doing the work before you get the title.
📌 Have an idea? Test it out before asking for permission.
Most people wait. They hesitate. They look for permission.
But leaders, innovators, and high achievers don’t wait—they act.
Why Most People Don’t Take Initiative
Fear.
❌ What if I fail?
❌ What if no one notices?
❌ What if it’s not my job?
But here’s the truth: Taking initiative doesn’t guarantee success, but not taking it guarantees staying where you are.
The One Question to Ask Yourself
