Just because someone says so, doesn’t always mean it is true.
The economic principles are always the same:
Money follows passion and actions.
Those who put in the work every single day for two to three decades get admiration and capital.
The problem:
It is not a linear process, but exponential.
Nothing for the first few years - modest after one decade and exploding after two.
It is easy to observe in all kinds of areas.
Stock market - NVIDIA, Apple, Microoft
Sport- todays soccer stars? They started as a child, make good income on their 20s, those who push through make loads of money in their 30s and later with marketing, coach and trainer roles.
Musicians - same
And writers - the same.
The internet makes it easier to access an audience, it just doesn’t change the always of nature and society.
Put in the work - be patient.
