Gradually, Then Suddenly.

“How did you go bankrupt?”
“Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

– Ernest Hemingway

My overnight viral success on Twitter occurred after publishing more than 1000 pieces of content online.

My burst of $10k months began in September 2020 after more than two years of barely making a part time income.

Gradually, then suddenly isn’t just the path to bankruptcy.

It’s also the path to success.

If you’re in the gradual part of your journey right now, don’t be fooled into thinking that’s all there is.

The sudden part is coming.

It’s THIS CLOSE.

But only if you embrace the gradual part and keep going.

So if it seems like nothing is working, do not stop.

Do not switch tactics.
Do not change strategies.
Do not seek new solutions.

You’ll sabotage the momentum you’ve built up in your current direction, and end up back at the starting line.

Gradual progress means it’s working.

Someone said no? It’s working.
Someone said yes? It’s working.
Small win? It’s working.
Big fail? It’s working.

It’s working. It’s always working. It never stops working.
As long as you don’t stop working.

Keep going. The sudden bit is coming.
