Building an online business, whether it's on the blockchain or elsewhere, takes time!
That's just something most people never want to hear...
In today's day and age, they expect it now, yesterday and within 60 seconds or less.
I wanted to share with you a quote that really helps hammer home the point of 'sticking to it' as well as some insight into exactly...How long it's going to take!
To get lots of whales upvotes on chain....
To get that perfect business model that transforms into a six figure business...
To build a personal brand that people grow to love and trust...
No matter what industry, niche or passion you have...I hope this post helps your journey.
The quote comes from one of my favorite authors on the planet, Jon Gordon...
"When people ask me how long it takes to become an overnight success....I tell them about 10 years!"
A very popular lesson in 'stick-to-it-ness' comes from the 10,000 hour rule that was made famous by Malcom Gladwell. In the lesson, he breaks down why it takes the average human being 10,000 hours to truly 'master' their art and craft.
10,000 hours huh?
So that means, to truly become great at something and you were putting in 20 hours a week to master it. It would take you roughly 10 years to reach that level of 'mastery'. Of course this is all subjective but the point is, most people that find greatness in their chosen field are willing to invest the time needed to see it through....
Take some of these popular examples of brands and leaders that 'finally' found their overnight success:
John Wooden - the legendary college basketball coach for UCLA, won his first NCAA title 20 years after he began to coach.
Wal Mart - Opened their 2nd store...7 years after their first!
Starbucks - Their 5th store was opened 13 years after the company started.
What's the point?
It takes TIME!
Here's the best thing about this fact. Most people WON'T invest the time needed to achieve success. They will give up after a few weeks or months, and then try something new. Only the truly dedicated see this stuff through and yes, there are many factors at play...But they have a greater chance of success!
Let's look at this from examples we see, right here on the blockchain and especially in crypto.
Most people have extremely short attention spans, and if a project isn't 'mooning' within a week or less, they usually lose interest. Closer to home, new members start creating content and give up because a whale didn't upvote them 3 weeks after showing up. It comes down to this simple truth...Most people, don't give this stuff enough time!
So what can you do?
Here's the point I really want to stress to you that may be reading this. If you want to separate yourself from the masses, stick out from the crowd and truly build the reputation as someone who doesn't give up...Give. It. Time!
Invest your time and focus on your chosen niche or industry with every spare minute you can. Your future self will thank you, whether it's 10 years down the road or maybe even a few years less....
But I guarantee you...If you give up, before giving it time, you'll never reach the levels you have always dreamed of!
