Every day, those who pursue and achieve success juggle many things on a daily basis. And they diligently pursue success year after year, completely out of the spot light and oblivious to everyone except their employees and family.
Ultimately, when they do succeed, the only thing outsiders notice are the fruits of that success – profitable business, nice home, new car, big bank account, etc.
Self-made millionaires deserve every dollar of their success. They earn that success in the early morning hours, when most are still fast asleep.
They earn that success by surviving the daily stress pursuing success requires.
They earn that success by juggling ten things in a given day, any one of which could derail them from success.
They earn that success by relinquishing family/friend time for twelve-hour work days.
What outside observers do not see is the monumental effort it takes to achieve success. Like an iceberg, all of the effort behind success is below the surface, invisible to the naked eye.
