I've been trying to achieve something for almost 10 years, struggling but I'm still going and working harder than ever. I changed everything along the way, tried every approach. I've been a nice guy, I've been a bully. I changed so many things trying to find what works (countries, companies, attitude); some people must think I'm crazy with multiple personality disorder. It doesn't matter. Some of us have to work harder than others to get the same result... It's also a privilege to be able to really struggle and see how insanely difficult it is to reliably achieve success when no one is invested in you except yourself. You never fully realize how many variables are involved in achieving success until you experience failure in a hundred different ways.
