Without a doubt, I don't think anything quite describes the journey that took me across the $1m mark as well as what you've written here Jim.
I can't even begin to calculate how many times I followed someone else's advice down a blind alley - or advice which was just wrong. I've found much of the advice out there makes intuitive sense - but doesn't survive first contact with reality.
Much of what worked for me was learning from past mistakes, improving my skillset, and keeping costs low.
I find that hard work pays off whether you are close to reaching your goals or not. As long as the journey is enjoyable, then wherever the destination may lead will be a positive one.
Through hard work, there will be value. If everything were just handed down to people, then there would be value in them. No lesson, no errors, no learning. Wonderfully put article :)
"There is no path" but this entire post is an articulation of The Path in its essence.
So, is there or is there not a path?!
I actually think there is one, as shown by the many people that did become successful over the centuries. It's not an easy one to identify and, importantly, walk from start to end without succumbing at the first difficulty - yet, there is a path.
Most people never find it or do not conquer themselves enough to be able to pursue it in its entirety.

Thanks so much for sharing this.
Well said Jim!

That's our life's task.
