Highly successful individuals don’t get blocked. American Football coaches know this better than anyone. The NFL has a statistic called YAC (Yards After Contact). It measures how far a player travels after first getting blocked by/ making contact with the opposing team. In every creative project, there are dozens of unique blockers that will manifest out of thin air. The expectation you should have for yourself and those you work with is that you "don't get blocked". You breakthrough. When briefs morph, you shape-shift. When deadlines change, you sprint. Constant progress is the expectation, regardless of the terrain.
