When I started sharing my ideas online, no one paid attention to what I was doing.

If you’ve ever posted a single thing on the internet, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

For me, it took about 18 months of consistently posting to YouTube before people finally started listening to what I had to say.

For what felt like forever, I would post video after video, only to be met with a handful of views on each.

I burned out several times and considered giving up altogether, but one day, seemingly out of nowhere, people began to watch.

And that’s when the magic really happened.

Not only did they watch, but they began to ask questions.

Once I had gained the attention of a few, I began to pay attention to what they wanted and simply did my best to deliver.

Three years ago, I never would have considered a career in marketing, but the people asked, and I listened. Now I run a full-fledged marketing business with solutions for my audience at every level.

From here, it’s just a matter of scale.

But it all started with showing up every day when no one was paying attention.

TL;DR

If you have the grit to keep showing up, you will win.
