You scroll through social media, watch a YouTube video, or read a blog post, and it looks like someone just blew up overnight. I see these examples every other day. Social Media has designed us to believe that instant success happens overnight.However, that's not the case. What you don’t see are the years behind the scenes. The failed attempts. The late nights. The stuff that flopped. The small wins that barely got noticed. The internal battles of self-doubt, burnout, and wondering if it’s worth it. Let's face it. If you have ever tried to start your own business (online or offline), you have most likely encountered these thoughts yourself. You create something, you publish it, and no one notices it. Hmm... what happened? Was it just the wrong moment, did I do something wrong, etc? You start doubting yourself. You start questioning the whole idea. Maybe you're not cut out for this. Maybe you’re not one of those people. The ones who "just make it."
But here’s the truth: almost nobody just makes it. Most people fail quietly for a long time before they succeed loudly. You don't see those attempts. All you see is their success because no one likes to show off their failed attempts. The difference between the ones who succeed and the ones who don't usually comes down to persistence. Sure, there is a time when giving up might be better than trying something that just doesn't work. But it is not after 1 day, 1 week, or even 1 month. Some people need years to succeed, and that's fine. It's about improving little by little. It’s about putting in the reps, day after day, even when progress feels invisible.
So you're not alone if you're in that stage right now — the "no one’s noticing" stage. You're in the same phase most people go through before anything clicks. You’re just earlier in the story. Your moment might not be today. It might not even be next month. But it will come — if you don’t quit before it does.
