Thestoryographist.com and shawnkunkler.com present: Soloprenuer180 Episode 23, stop waiting to be an overnight success. 

Many solopreneurs dream of becoming an overnight success, where everyone knows their name and demand for their product or service is at an all-time high.

But, here's a secret: No single person who found success found it overnight — they all built it in chunks—an hour every day for the course of a set amount of time.

The 10,000-hour rule popularized by Malcolm Gladwell roughly says if you practice one skill for 10,000 hours, you'll have a good chance at becoming an expert at it.

This week, San Francisco Real Estate Agent Shawn Kunkler and The Storyographist dissect the overnight success theory and explain how there is no silver bullet that will skyrocket you to success. You need to be invested in the process and do the work. To become a master of your craft, you must invest the time to become skillful and successful. While overnight success might sound great, there is something more valuable about the process. 

Things you will learn in this episode:

• 10,000-hour rule
• Buy your lottery ticket
• Enjoy the process
• Find someone who values your hard work
• Do the work
