Success Does Not Occur Overnight

It's over NIGHTS!

We live in a culture obsessed with speed. People talking and posting about “overnight success” stories.  But, the TRUTH behind those flashy stories often goes untold.

Here’s the reality, what looks like a sudden breakthrough is almost always the result of months or years of quiet, relentless effort. 

It is lots of late nights, early morning grinding, missed events, and countless failures that no one ever really shares, because quite frankly, it’s not glamorous. 

You should share it because it’s REAL!  

Overnight success is a myth, but what is not, is the numerous over nights of planning, failing, crying, learning, and trying again - this IS where the magic happens.

You will need to reframe your brain because “Over Nights” is not just a play on words, it is a mindset.

Here, you will be playing the long game.  Building anything meaningful takes time: time to figure out your “why?” as well as, who and where your people are. 

You need the time to build your “know, like, & trust,” and time to build your famousity within your community.

Realize and understand, the people who succeed aren’t the ones who try once, they are the ones who demonstrate CONSISTENCY. 

They are the consistent ones who keep showing up when things go wrong, when it gets hard - when no one is watching. 

The ones who keep going when doubt creeps in, when all the reasons for quitting show up, and when imposter syndrome is at its all time high!  

When you choose to be consistent you are choosing to be successful.

You consistently choose to spend quiet nights working on your dream when no one applauds.

Consistency chooses the late nights figuring out your numbers and “how am I going to do this?,” rather than scrolling or watching Netflix. 

Being consistent shows up in those countless sleepless nights worrying how you will pay yourself and sustain your family, as well as fighting the free floating anxiety around the idea of “what’s my purpose?”

Regardless of it all, YOU STILL CHOOSE TO SHOW UP THE NEXT DAY!  These are the “unseen hours” which are shaping you and your success.  

How do I embrace the “Over Nights” mentality you ask?  Well, first commit to the process. 

Don’t chase results, chase progress, the numbers will follow. Get comfortable in the dark. 

Growth often happens in silence, in the uncomfortable. 

You will not always get applause - KEEP GOING ANYWAY!!  Absolutely, do not forget to CELEBRATE YOUR SMALL WINS DAILY. 

Each long night, each obstacle overcome, is part of your success story. Honor that. 

Make sure to take IMPERFECT ACTION. 

You cannot sit and wait for everything to line up in what you may consider to be “the perfect way.”

If you choose this, surely you will find yourself extremely overwhelmed and not knowing how or when to take action, so you will take no action. 

Finally, stay consistent. You don’t have to be extreme, just be extremely consistent.

Next time someone asks how long it took you to “make it,” smile and say:  “I am still working on it, but it didn’t happen overnight, it happened over nights.”

The truth is, every success story is really a story about endurance. 

The endurance captures an important truth about business: it requires consistency and persistence - grinding, learning, failing, and adjusting. 

It also includes sacrifice - long nights, late hours, and hard choices.  Let’s not forget about your time and patience. 

Real results take time, and the phrase “overnight success” reminds us that success comes after MANY NIGHTS OF UNSEEN EFFORT. 

It’s tough, but try to remember to be kind and give yourself grace as much as you can.

This is not an easy choice, but if it was easy everyone would do it.
