I think it's important to highlight the failures that we just talked about because a lot of people hear a story like yours and how much you've sold online. It took about three years if you working really hard to get your online course business to a point where you're willing to quit your day job. And even then at month eight, I believe it was only doing about $1,000 a month. So it's not like it was an easy path or get rich quick overnight. For most people, it's going to be more slow.
