DTC+: The only "success" graph you need

Having been through my own Trough of Sorrow’s, I can confirm that the above timeline is no theory, but a universal principle, almost mathematically accurate and constant.

Predictable and tough, but if you settle in for the ride, stay disciplined and work your butt off, the above shape is applicable to most things in life.

Few get to the Scale part, the Trough of Sorrow has taken many souls and ambitions.

That’s where ideas go to die, before seeing the light of day.

Just because they weren’t pushed hard or long enough to give them a fair chance of success.

TL;DR You “just” have to keep going without seeing any results for a long time. A skill possessed by a minuscule % of humans.
