I had both sides of the coin. I was a poor farm boy who couldn’t afford university. Then I was a post grad with $750,000 (in today’s dollars) in debt trying to start a family and a practice.
Then the other side of this story… having money, the dream house, a family oasis on a private island, boats, toys, you name it… and yet, I was terribly unhappy.
Turns out I had “bought in” so hard to the bullshit that society fed me that I was living someone else’s life.
The speakers on the platform said that the key to success was more volume. So I continued to build the volume.
300 pv/week… 400 pv/week… I still remember the first week we served over 500 pv/week and then adjusting almost 1000 pv/week when my business partner went on vacation… and that’s when I found out that the key to success and happiness is NOT patient volume.
