You thought that sending once or twice would be enough. That a trickle of effort might spark interest. That I would notice.
I didn’t.
Because there was nothing to notice.
A flicker on the ledger doesn’t make you visible. One tribute does not carve out recognition. Visibility – true visibility – is earned. It’s cumulative. It’s costly. It’s measured not in how much you crave attention, but in how reliably and repeatedly you fund my world without needing to be seen.
The ones I remember? They don’t need reminders. They don’t hesitate. Their presence is marked in consistent performance, not in desperate attempts. They appear as steady streams, not sporadic stumbles. Their names live in columns – because they understand that attention is never owed. It’s bought, paid for, and maintained.
And the rest? Lost in the noise. Written off as underperforming assets – barely worth the calculation.
You want to be reviewed? Start behaving like you’re part of the portfolio. Until then, don’t confuse activity with value. Or noise with presence.
