Overnight success

One of my favourite blogs I have read was from Jim Connolly. On how to become a overnight success.

We hear of these success stories and admire how clever these people are and how they have become "known" almost overnight...

The truth be told

• Angry Birds creator Rovio became an overnight success, after 51 less successful games, 8 years of hard work and almost going bankrupt.
• Harry Potter author JK Rowling, became an overnight success in 1997… though she started writing fantasy stories as a child, more than 20 years earlier.
• The Beatles become an overnight success, after playing more then 1000 gigs.
  
  

The fastest selling Kickstarter book ever, was written by Seth Godin. Most people say it took around 3 hours. Godin said it took around 8 years. That’s how long it took him, writing blog posts almost every day, to build a big enough community to reach his Kickstarter target in 3 hours. 

So don't despair, you will get results after hard work, amazing customer service and believing in your cause. Hang in there.
