And he says, well, if I work really hard and I'm really focused, how long will it take?

And he says, okay, 15 years.

And he goes, no, no, no, I'm going to work really hard.

I'm going to be really focused.

I'm going to do this faster than anyone.

How long is it going to take?

And he says, 30 years.

And the point is that what Robert is saying and what I think is a truism throughout history is that this is the part of your life that you can't rush.

I started working for Robert when I was 19, let's say.

And I would say I learned something from him a month ago when we were chatting.

The process continues on to this day.

But my first book didn't come out until I was 25 or 26.

So at a minimum, it was six plus years of working for him.

And I still felt like there was a lot left for me to learn and still think that there is.

So these processes take time.

I wrote every day on my website for free for six, seven, eight years before I ever got a dollar for anything that I was paid to write.

I'm thousands of episodes into the Daily Stoic podcast, thousands of emails into the Daily Stoic email.

I'm 12 or 13 books in as a professional author.

And I feel like I'm just beginning to understand certain things.

I wouldn't say I'm just starting, but I would say that I'm just starting to hit my stride.
