The concept of “overnight success” has been deemed inaccurate because truly, no one has a Day One, then reaps the rewards a mere 12 hours later. And yet, some stories of business come-ups make us wonder. There are the unlikely entrepreneurs who work on a billion-dollar idea and bring it to fruition against all odds.
There are serial entrepreneurs who “strike gold” and finally create that multimillion-dollar company. There are the entrepreneurs who pivot just in time, and the entrepreneurs who devote themselves fully, every day, to their visions — and see the fruits of their labour within the span of just a few years.

A month of all-in focus work with tunnel vision on just one endeavour is far more productive than six months of distracted work. So, eliminate every distraction possible — and go all-in on what you’re creating.
