j have never been really frightened in my life but one of the things I remember is putting my toe under a moving iceberg on a mountain on New Zealand . Feeling the power of it moving but knowing that if I left it long enough I would have to cut off my own toes

One of the things that struck me early on (and thinking about it, probably the reason why I have used 'ten years' as an acceptable period of time to realise my ambitions.) while watching and listening to countless 'How I got where I am today' stories, was that the vast majority of those telling their tale, all started their quest close to ten years ago, give or take a year or two.

Of course, there were a few exceptions but those who were truly established and at the forefront of their business model, had all taken this kind of timeframe to achieve the status they now had.

There is a tendency to assume that creating a internet business overnight is a 'piece of cake' and that anyone can do it. This is courtesy of those out to make 'a quick buck' and those 'types' are predatory in their very nature but, I might add, not exclusive to just this industry.

I try to look beyond laying the blame at those who promote the 'Earn $1000 per day within a month' programs because the education needs to come before that.

Why do you need to earn that kind of money NOW and why do you think that you are going to be able to create that kind of income overnight, online ? The answers to those questions opens up an entirely different dialogue.

If I go right back to my first tentative attempts at being self-employed (back when mobile phones were barely mobile due to the weight), never once did someone say that it was going to be a doddle or a breeze, most of the time I was informed not to expect to see any profits for at least three years, minimum.

Your post should remind those who are becoming disillusioned at their lack of success that this is not a 'get rich quick' endeavour.

I found this quote by Walt Disney and if you look at it long enough, you will find one, as there are more, of the main ingredients needed for success. Loved the post by the way, forgot to say that at the beginning of the speech😉🙏.

"When we opened Disneyland, a lot of people got the impressions that it was a get-rich-quick thing, but they didn't realize that behind Disneyland was this great organization that I built here at the Studio, and they all got into it and we were doing it because we loved to do it."

I did an iceburg post as well a while back. How to Achieve Success? It's true though. Often people only see the results and not everything that created those results.

Outstanding article! I absolutely love it. You get straight to the point and one that I think a lot of people miss.

Follow the training, work hard, be consistent, patience and don't ever give up!

I really appreciate the information you have here, it solidifies our paths and goals along with our future here at WA!

Thank you!

Great visualisation and post, Cassi! It shows very well what this is all about. Success doesn´t come over night.

It is hard work and at times it feels like you are not getting anywhere. But being focused and laying out a plan to follow, will result in success in the end.
