This is a YouTube video titled "Focus your time on becoming an expert and being competent at what you do." It features a single speaker reflecting on the challenges and lessons learned in the first five years of running their company, adspend.com, emphasizing the importance of persistence and skill development before achieving financial success. The content is motivational and entrepreneurial in nature, created in late September 2024.
I heard this quote and I had to share it with you because this is what really made it hit home for me. The first five years in business aren't where you get rich, they're where you get good. And I'm coming on about five years of starting my company, adspend.com and just now are we finding our stride, Just now are we actually making more money than we've ever made in our entire company's history? And it was because of that quote right there, that principle, that lesson, that's where you actually acquire the real skills. Now when you do start that business, just like I've learned now, the first five years, they're not where you get rich, they're where you get good. And as a result, you put the time and energy and effort in and you don't quit. You start making more money than you've ever made in your entire life. Don't quit before that five year mark. That's just where you get good. But keep at it. Keep going. Coming up on our five year mark and anniversary of AD spend.com later next year, I can tell you firsthand that this principle is one of the biggest lessons I've Learned now at 30 years old.
