RE: There is NO shortcut to success. Here's the truth to what it takes to excel.
There's a reason why it takes 10 years for any "overnight success" and that 10 years is a conservative estimate.
I used to get frustrated at those always looking for quick fix (I've fallen in that camp before.) But then I realized that just gives me an even better chance to succeed.
Hard work isn't sexy. It can't be broken down to some pill that can be sold to the masses. Hard work is just that.
And the thing is... even with hard work that doesn't guarantee anything! There are a ton of other factors that go into being successful! But I'll tell you what, I ALWAYS find that the harder I work the luckier I get.
My favorite tip of yours is breaking things down into small goals. For example, last week I committed to publishing content on Steemit for at LEAST 3 months, and I know for a fact many will be long gone by then. I know 3 months isn't that much time but for me it's small enough to hold me accountable and big enough to where I believe I can make a serious dent.
It's been awhile since I've been this motivated because here on Steemit hard work is rewarded in the long run.
Thanks for shairng.
I think that is my favorite tip too honestly because I used to be REALLY bad about looking only at the huge picture and that would make me really anxious and feel like "why bother?" and I would get nothing done. I literally try to only think about like today, and maybe the week. haha "Today, I am going to finish this coloring book". "Today, I will write a new chapter to my book". Then like once a week I will compile longer-term goals. This helps me a loooot. :)
