Dean Graziosi describes how early wins in a new venture feel like a sign to keep going, but then difficulty spikes right before a breakthrough. He calls this spike a test: the universe checking whether you'll push through or quit.
God or the universe gives you a sign in the beginning, and you get this little bit of beginner's luck. Like, I could see myself doing this. I'm excited, and you jump in. But then things seem to get tougher. Usually right before you're gonna have your breakthrough. Your first deal right before it happens is when it gets the toughest, and it's God or the universe or life testing you to see if you can push through.
