Let Go of the "Get Rich Quick" Mindset for Sustainable Growth
Written on
Understanding the Slow Growth Philosophy
It’s crucial to abandon the "get rich quick" mindset when striving for success online. This detrimental perspective often hinders talented creators before they even get the chance to thrive.
As Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, once posed a question to Warren Buffett, the former richest man in the world: "You have the simplest investment strategy, yet others don’t follow it. Why?" Buffett's response was telling: "Because no one wants to get rich slowly."
Reflecting on My Journey
Twenty months ago, I began my online journey with absolutely no followers, earnings, or views. Fast forward to today, I’m generating a four-figure income monthly, with 6,000 followers and approximately 50,000 views each month.
My husband, Patrick, embarked on his online course creation journey six years ago. After we welcomed our baby in 2021, he launched a YouTube channel to share free educational content. Now, he boasts around 25,000 subscribers on YouTube, has assisted 70,000 students on Udemy, and runs a six-figure business.
The Power of Incremental Progress
It's the small, consistent efforts we make every day as part-time creators that propel us toward our objectives. Parenthood has reshaped our perspectives, enriching our creative journey positively. Spending quality time with family and enjoying life by the sea continually fuels our motivation.
The concept of "slow growth" is what drives our online ventures forward. If setbacks occur today, they are insignificant in the grand scheme. What truly matters is perseverance over the next two years or more.
Focus on Your Vision
Stay committed to your ultimate goal. Discover what inspires you, and don't allow the time or effort involved to deter you.
Key Takeaway: Commit to reaching your destination; the rest is about strategizing how to get there. Stay focused and detailed in your pursuits.
