A short YouTube monologue (uploaded by George Foley) reflecting on the myth of "overnight success." The speaker describes five years of sustained effort—mentors, courses, travel, and daily personal development—that compounded over six to seven years and eventually produced a hockey-stick increase in business revenue rather than an instantaneous breakthrough.
Five years of blood, sweat, and tears, really, to get to my business agency. And then even when, when we met Andre, we would fly around the world and have different mentors and consume courses and programs and YouTube and all of that. And then all of a sudden, I think it doesn't just happen overnight, but everything just clicked into place. And then all of a sudden, you're making a certain amount of revenue every year and money, but because you've done all of that hard work of, like, working on yourself, personal development every single day for me for the last six, seven years. So that just compounds over time. And then all of a sudden, like, the hockey curve stick of a business, I feel like that's what happened to.
