Every new business or activity that we undertake has a learning period that can be substantially long when the complexity and potential profitability is high. I never believed in the get rich quick system that makes money while you sleep by you just pushing a button because developing such a system takes work and knowledge. Anyway when you first begin you sometimes feel that you are never going to make it since the first project or action you perform seems to be taking forever and to produce very little or no gain, or maybe even a loss. This is part of working yourself up the scale that will eventually lead you into the position of fully controlling the operation, but you’ll never get there if you don’t go through the motions and actions of learning your trade or hobby in the real world. Studying is fine but will never allow you to get anywhere until you get your hands dirty. Study doesn’t take into account the dishonest or incompetent worker that keeps messing up what you have assigned him, doesn’t take into account the fears and uncertainties you will have to face while going through the critical decisions that will lead to your first product. And if the project takes a long time to develop, you might just as well quit much before you get to the end. My wife Maria keeps telling me that the only people who fail are those that quit before arriving. And it is very true. And even when you arrive at your first result it might seem so inferior to what you were expecting and so hard to get that you might decide to give up and not repeat the same steps again. But this would be again a mistake, before the second time around will be better and the third time around even better until you can really put in on automatic (or almost) and delegate most of it. So keep walking on that first mile and get to the first milestone, no matter how far in seems and how many times you need to start over this first leg of your travel. And with your example also others will do the same and the will also get somewhere in life.
