Unearthing the Layers of Success: What Can Geology Teach Us?

Lately, I’ve been comparing success stories to geological formations both are built layer by layer, shaped by pressure, time, and sometimes a little chaos. You don’t see the full story at first glance; you have to dig deeper to understand what really went into it.

Take specialty coffee, for example. A great roast doesn’t just happen overnight. It’s the result of careful cultivation, processing, and roasting, each step leaving its own mark. The same goes for baking or marketing success isn’t instant, but a series of small, intentional actions stacked over time.

So I’m curious: when you look at your own achievements, what “layers” do you notice? Are there hidden pressures or slow-building processes that made the difference? Would love to hear how others break down their own success stories!
