Show Your Work

Garth Beyer

I despised math class. I failed trigonometry the first time I took it. I couldn’t stand investing time and energy into something I knew I wouldn’t use.

Alas, there’s one thing about math that does apply to life and work: the power of showing your work.

It enables you to discover your weak points. It lets you feel more fulfilled when you’re done working through a problem. It makes pivoting in the moment feel easier because you’re not set on a specific path.

And that’s all internal.

Then there’s the validation and respect you earn from others by showing the work.

Can you imagine a tattoo artist with no sketch book?

Or a contractor without any bids from various plumbers?

Not showing your work is only holding you back.

Stay Positive & Show Your Work, Show Your Worth
