Professional success arrives faster for those who adopt a mindset of "building a cathedral" rather than merely "laying bricks."
Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, whose wealth is estimated at over $110 billion, follows a set of principles centered on ownership of one's work. He states that the right mentality is a prerequisite to success in life.
Zhao believes that grinding on tasks without a real purpose is a counterproductive approach to career progression. He argues that those who do not believe they are building a cathedral should seek different employment. He states that one must always consider how to improve things beyond what others have suggested.
Work results improve when this mindset is adopted.
