“The Big Break is a myth. Something we tell themselves out of laziness and fear of the work ahead. If Big Breaks do happen, we’d be better off not counting on them and focusing on what we can control — the work.”

You’d focus on putting in the work.
That’s why Jeff Goins suggests recognizing your big break is never coming can be beneficial to your career if you learn to practice when no one’s watching, prepare for lucky moments, and be patient.
