Man oh man, is this the truth! Especially with your background in network marketing, I'm sure you have heard all the excuses in the world.
What you said was spot on too, the mindset! You need to have the right mindset in any kind of platform or opportunity.
I mentioned this in another comment on Steemit, but you should have at least a 2-3 year game plan here. See where you at in a few years before you scream that this doesn't work or it's just a scam lol
You have no idea, lol. Unfortunately the same people that want to be rich overnight are often the people that don't want to do anything. Then they get upset because they didn't make any money. So it's a SCAM! lol
And yeah, you're right. Two to three years is really better than just a year. Keep working at things and don't judge anything until a couple of years in. Great point!
