💯 just work and make a little progress every day. You’ll be depressed about how little you get done in a week but you’ll be amazed at what can get done in a year. Don’t kill yourself, take a look in the mirror every few weeks and take stock and see if this is actually what you want to be doing.
Everything else is luck & talent, which you have almost no control over (yet!).
A lot of advice seems to be like diet advice, in the end if you do some exercise and keep it up it’s probably the right answer. Don’t optimize too early.
I’d like to add that it’s often more about ownership and control than it is about money. I know people who could be earning 8 figures TC working for other people but earn 7 figures instead just because they want control over their lives and not to have to answer to people they don’t respect all the time.
