You hit the number. You earned the title. You closed the record year. And then something quietly shifted that nobody warned you about. The early mornings got a little less early. The preparation that used to feel non-negotiable started feeling optional. The pipeline still looked full. The results still looked fine. You couldn't quite name what changed—but something had. That's Victory Drift. And it doesn't hit the people who coast on talent. It hits the ones who earned their wins. Victory Drift is the slow erosion of the standards and habits that produced a win—triggered by the win itself.
