Great post my friend.
You nailed the important points in my opinion.
The future looks bright but everyone here who want to achieve something has to work for it, has to put effort into it. IT IS WORK!
The sound of a social media that pays spreads the illusion that it will be easy earned money. But it is like everything in life which will last for a long time, build on a solid and maybe unshakable foundation; We have to do something for it.
The past is testament to this yet most people ignore what it took to create those foundations.
Exactly. You said it my friend.
