There are probably those rare situations where someone becomes famous or successful overnight but they are definitely the exception.

Most of us have to work hard, whether it’s starting a business, becoming a musician, athlete, or actor.  Pretty much anything you choose to do is going to take a lot of effort.

This is easy to say but that doesn’t mean I always like doing it.  Everyone, no matter what age you are, is going to get tired of work, work, and more work, especially if you can’t see the reward right away.  That’s why everyone, but especially a kid, needs someone to support and encourage them when they want to quit.  And that will happen at some point.  That’s where a parent or other mentor really helps.  Maybe it’s their age or their experience but somehow my parents can see the possibilities and opportunities much farther down the road than I can.  But I keep learning as I go.

Success won’t happen overnight.  The only guarantee is that if you quit, nothing will happen.
