A short YouTube clip (by Matthew Kelly) where the speaker contrasts the emotional satisfaction of helping novices achieve small financial milestones (e.g., going from $0 to $5k/month) with helping established professionals achieve larger but less personally meaningful gains (e.g., a lawyer going from $500k to $600k/month). The speaker emphasizes the disproportionate emotional impact on the novice ("buzzing") and the speaker's greater fulfillment from those small wins.

For me, having somebody go through, like an online course and go from 0 to just like 5k a month is way more satisfying than helping a lawyer go from half a million a month to, like 600k a month. Because to me, it's like. And to the lawyer, it doesn't really mean much. It's 100 grand to a kid. When I say a kid like 18, 19, who's just finished or dropped out of college to make an extra five grand in a month, to him, he's buzzing. And that was the best feeling ever.
