I showed the class a tomato plant. Not a tomato. A plant. You put the seed in the ground and for ten days nothing happens. Twenty days, nothing. If you want instant gratification you scroll for ten seconds and the dopamine hits. You've been waiting ten days on this seed, bro, and there's nothing there. One month, something comes up. Two months, still no tomato. Six months, you get a tomato.
Then I said the sentence. You think six months should make you rich. That's wrong. If growing a single tomato takes six months, you should not realistically expect six months of this to make you rich or to get you a job for $120,000.
People don't stop because they're weak. They stop because their expectation was wrong from day one.
