@Devin JamesNothing in life is typically handed to you and nothing is typically get rich quickThe most successful people I know show up everyday and grind it out- they don’t let a failure destroy them - they get up and keep going.If you also read all the great business books etc they all say the same thing - be humble, be consistent and have a plan.
