I was 2 seconds away from quitting. Then this happened...
The one moment that made me who I am today.
Hey ,
I think I’ve never told this to anyone before, but there was a moment I nearly gave up.
It was just another Tuesday…
I started the day feeling motivated, grinding away like usual.
But then the most unexpected thing happened…
All my motivation disappeared. I sat back and thought:
What am I even doing? It’s been a year and a half… I haven’t made a single dollar. Just wasted hundreds of hours learning.
I closed my laptop, collapsed onto the couch, and started scrolling through Instagram reels.
And then I stumbled on a reel…
It was about a guy who made over 100k in his first year of AI automation.
And there I was:
A year and a half into starting…
Zero dollars made, hundreds of hours spent on learning.
At that moment, I felt like a total failure…
The thoughts started rolling in:
Did I just waste hundreds of hours of my life on nothing? Am I doing something wrong? Why me?
The frustration was overwhelming. I hovered over the “delete everything” button, ready to give up.
Right when I was about to delete it all, my phone lit up.
It was a friend who somehow knew what I was going through. He told me about a guy who spent three full years learning before he made a dime.
And that’s when it hit me:
Success isn’t about speed. It’s about staying in the game.
Some people hit it big in 3 months. For others, it takes 3 years.
But the only way to guarantee failure is to quit.
And would you believe, after this sentence, it took me only 2 more weeks before I made my first income.
So if you’re in that same place right now:
Tired, doubtful, ready to give up.
Don’t…
You’re probably closer than you think. Keep going. God’s timing is never off. Just don’t quit right before it happens.
I believe in you.
Talk soon,
