Success is an Inside Job
If you look at people who are successful, they NEVER got there by taking shortcuts. The definition of success is sustained, intentional, greatness. Taking great actions over and over again. Never stopping.
Any single person can have success, no matter where they are right now. It takes time. It takes patience. But with intentional and planned activity sustained over time, you can be unstoppable. The most successful people share character traits too.
Perseverance, grit, continued growth are all traits that the most successful people share. Study them. Emulate them. But make your own waves.
