Tom Krieglstein argues that success and failure are points on the same road, with failure just an earlier exit. Every successful person has failed multiple times. What looks like overnight success usually took a decade of work nobody saw.

Hey friends, it is Thom here and I just heard a quote that I needed to share with you. It said that success and failure are on the same highway. It's just that failure is an earlier exit. I often say that I don't know anyone who is successful who hasn't gone through multiple rounds of failures on their way to their journey into success. Success. The question is just how many times are you willing to fail and get back up? And then how many times are you willing to fail again and get back up and keep going and keep going and keep going? A phrase I use for myself, and I suggest to borrow as well for you, is that you and I and anyone else are going to be overnight successes. It's just 10 years in the making. We just never hear that 10 year journey that gets to that spot where they finally make it.
