ItzTrain@geerlingguy This type of transparency with both metrics and finances is most refreshing. I really do appreciate you for doing this. If more content creators do this, people can properly gauge their barrier to entry, and of course, success doesn't come in a year or two.. Grind!! Thank you!
@train I've been on YouTube since 2006, and been writing the book since 2013, it's definitely a grind, and it's only really paid off over the last few years!
Luck is involved too, I would be remiss to say that (and that's why I still had a full time W2 job until 2021). But luck favors the prepared.
