A creator aimed for $1 billion by 25 but hit $2.7 billion by 27 instead. Nick Perry argues that missing your deadline isn't failure if you keep building. Most people quit when timelines slip. The gap is just the price.
You get what you want, but it takes 2 years longer than you planned? See, I met a kid with 25 million subscribers who told me he'd hit 200 million and be a billionaire by 25. Now he's got 450 million subs and he's worth $2.7 billion, but it took him 2 years longer than he told me it would. And that taught me something, because the timeline you set is wrong, but the destination is right. So the gap between your plan and reality is where most people quit, because from the inside, A delayed timeline and a failed one are the same. But the gap isn't failure, it's the price. So if you're 2 years past the date you circled, still building the thing you set out to build, keep going. Follow for more.
