What you do after the hit will be dictated by what how you believe the hit came to be a hit.
If you believe it was pure luck, you’ll probably be really worried that the best has now come and gone because luck rarely strikes twice. And then you’ll be paranoid about trying to recreate the exact circumstances that gave you the luck the first time around.
If you believe it was purely your hard work, you’ll probably work even harder, stay up later, more effort, more control, more efficiency.
If you believe that your contribution was vital along with the rest of your team making vital contributions along with some good luck and good timing sprinkled on top…that frees you up to keep making your contribution again next time while knowing that you’re contribution is simply one important piece. That if you want another hit, you didn’t do it alone the first time and you can’t do it alone this time either. The best you can do is bring your best work to the portion of the project you’re responsible for.
