Chapter 1: The Reality of Wins

One of the toughest realizations I faced when I began my journey as a copywriter was the idea of TWY, or as most people refer to it, "That Was Yesterday." Imagine dedicating countless hours to a project, pouring your heart and soul into it. At the end of the day...

You triumph! 🏆

You've achieved your goal, and the accolades pour in. Your colleagues are impressed, and even your clients exclaim, "That was incredible!"

You’re a hero—at least for that moment.

However, that’s not entirely accurate; you’re only a hero for today. Tomorrow will bring new challenges requiring you to prove your worth once again. When you attempt to remind the world of your past brilliance, life will respond with a harsh reminder: "That was yesterday."

It can be disheartening to realize that a victory isn't a permanent accolade but rather a limited-time offer. It feels unjust, especially after the immense effort you invested. Must you surpass that achievement once more?

The reality is that we must, because the alternative is far more daunting—a scenario where your greatest accomplishment resides in the past.

Can you envision that? Always referring to yourself as the person who achieved that one remarkable feat back in 2004.

And this isn’t necessarily about your pinnacle achievement. Your best work could merely be a project you invested time in, slowly fading into the background with each passing day.

That feels unjust.

Maintaining a mindset of consistently delivering your best work is crucial for living a fulfilling life. This endeavor isn’t solely about impressing your employer or excelling at your job; it’s about carving out your identity and building your wealth. This is a deeply personal ambition.

Take, for instance, Apple’s launch of the iPhone in 2007. They were significantly ahead of their competition regarding features. Innovations we take for granted today—like touch screens, applications, and powerful processors—were groundbreaking at that time.

Yet, none of this would have mattered if Apple had stopped there.

Instead, they committed to outdoing themselves year after year, striving to create the next best iPhone. While they haven’t always hit the mark, it’s no coincidence that despite producing a range of devices, the Apple brand is now synonymous with the iPhone.

So yes, victories do have a shelf life. But rather than viewing this as a setback, we should embrace it as a challenge to pursue achievements so monumental that they will outlast our time.
