👩‍🎤 TREE 777: Overnight success takes years

TREEpeat 97

Two examples from popworld:

Billie Eilish grew up singing and homeschooled in a ridiculously musical showbiz family. She got her 10,000 hours in early.

When she was 15, Dua Lipa moved without her family from Kosovo to London so she could pursue a career in pop music.

Overnight success always comes with a long backstory full of really hard work.

Except when it doesn’t. There’s always an exception somewhere.

But if you want to achieve success,
your odds are a million times better
if you bet on smart hard work
than if you sit around hoping
you’re the exception.

Keep going.
Overnight success takes years.

I hope things turn out all right for this kid.

Grow slowly
