...and you can't magically wake up tomorrow with all your dreams come true.
You have to hike up the mountain. It's a long and hard journey. But you know the hike will be worth it.
The same goes with your
career.
You can't just magically wake up one day with a hundred thousand followers on Instagram, fans streaming your music on Spotify, or a six figure income.
It can only come from the journey, and the journey will always
take time.
There's gonna be twists and turns. There will be switchbacks and setbacks.
And as much as you want to speed up the process you can only speed up so much if you go it alone.
That's why mentors, coaches and learning from people who have done what you want to achieve is so important.
Whether you're creating content, making music, or trying to launch a product, you're trying to grow a long-term career and a body of work.
So when you compare yourself to people more successful than you and you feel dejected about your own progress, don't worry.
They're just ahead of you on the hike, and their success leaves clues.
