Thank you so much for sharing this Jeff @dollarvigilante, that is exactly how I think and see it! Behind every "overnight success" is usually years of work, struggle, self-improvement and risk-taking.
People forget how hard you work and dont know what you have done to achieve things in life. I have been working for 3 years to build a large following on youtube and face book of 160 k followers, and people go you are so lucky! No, i worked my ass off day and night, weekends and had no life. Keep doing what you are doing!
