A short motivational video by TJ Walker challenging the myth of 'overnight success.' Walker argues that significant achievements usually follow years of struggle and cautions viewers to choose worthwhile long-term pursuits rather than duplicative or trivial projects.
Chapters
The media is filled with stories of overnight successes. The 17 year old who came up with an idea became a billionaire a week later. The real world isn't like that. You scratch a little at any big success story and quite often you find 10 years of constant struggle and you don't hear about all the others who struggled for 10 years and failed. All great successes require struggle. Make sure it's worth struggling over. If you're trying to be the 29th duplication of Groupon for socks, make sure that's really what you want to spend 10 years on. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
