In this brief YouTube clip, two speakers discuss the common misconception that building a community or growing a business can happen quickly. Speaker A emphasizes that significant progress typically requires two to three years, while Speaker B reinforces this by citing Sam Parr’s experience growing The Hustle to two million email subscribers over eight years, illustrating that great results demand long‑term effort. They both stress that achieving mastery involves an apprenticeship phase where one initially “sucks” but learns through consistent practice and repetition. The core message is that sustainable community growth is a marathon, not a sprint, and patience, persistence, and a willingness to endure the learning curve are essential.

I think the biggest misconception is that it's going to happen quickly, and it actually takes probably 2 or 3 years to do anything significant.
We're talking about building a community. Sam grew The Hustle to 2 million email subscribers, but that took 8 years. Great things take time.
In order to have mastery, you typically have to go through this apprenticeship period where you just suck, but you're learning, but you just have to go through the motions because that actually is really useful.
So if this is something you want, put in the hours, focus on the craft, and make small improvements each day.
