where you're studying these successful people

my study tells me a very different result.

Most people, they do not succeed in their late 20s.

by meaning you see people on Instagram or on Facebook

and they succeed in the late 20s, that's not research.

You're guessing, and that's what they want you to see.

The people that I study, the truly successful people,

The successful entrepreneurs that I know,

that I've had the privilege of sitting down

and interviewing through my Dan Lok Show,

maybe you already know that, on my podcast,

I interview them and I pick their brains,

They don't succeed in years, they succeed in decades.

And people see that as, oh, it is an overnight success.

It's not and that's not an overnight success.

People see what I do, oh, I'm an overnight success,

the price that you have to pay, no one talks about it.

you see the glam, you see the glitz, you see the glory.

You don't see the blood, sweat, and tears,

the debt that you got into, the sale you couldn't close,

the failures that you have, the bad business partnership,

the losses that you have, all this BS, right?

That's the price but most people don't see a lot of that.

And that's the problem with a lot of young people.

You are 16, you are 18, you are 14, you're 20 years old,

and maybe you could do it, I'm not saying you couldn't,

So on one hand, you have a sense of urgency,

which is what I teach, you gotta have that sense of urgency,

or at the same time, you need to have patience.

that you kinda, quote unquote, made it a little bit,

to sustain, to have that longterm success, that takes work.

You're not supposed to make it in two years.

you're just not supposed to make it in five years.

Ross Perot, you may or may not know from Perot System,

arguably one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time,

one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time,

did not make money the first 15 years as an entrepreneur.

Are you willing to work and sacrifice for 15 years?

If you are very, very, very good and you start early,
