Success doesn't happen overnight. Sometimes it may appear that way to the outside eye, but what you don't see is the years of grinding behind the scenes before that success came into the light. Lately, I've received messages about people saying "man I've been shooting videos for over a year now and I haven't really gotten anywhere with it I'm kind of stuck I don't know what to do can you give me some advice". I just kind of chuckle to myself and let them know that it's not going to happen like that, it's not a light switch you just flip on. It took me years of grinding it out doing videos/jobs I didn't want to do, but knew I needed to in order to get to where I'm at today. You've got to pay your dues, I still do and will continue too for a long time. I don't feel like I'm above certain work and I feel like I run into people all the time that feel that way. Regardless, I'm not at the top nor am I anywhere close to where I want to be. You don't instantly walk into a Fortune 500 company office building and become the CEO, it takes years of hard work to achieve that status. Be patient in your craft and maintain a strong work ethic. Day by day just continue to work on one thing that puts you closer to your end goal. - Jakob Owens
