Becoming successful in life is never a bed of roses where the person has to sit and watch seeing their asset grows or becoming that successful. As a man who is keens to become a figure today must work so hard to make sure s/he attain such height they are desiring for otherwise they could end up becoming so poor in life, again whatever thing we do be it investment digitally or in a real estate we should know that before we get the dividends it takes time because after taking off the actual capital used in building such place it would take that investor years to recover what spent before seeing profits from their business or investment.
With that being said, it is even more tedious and difficult to thrive in an environment of excellence, prudence and positivity, where they work to become successful involved in the right trades and businesses and to grow in the process. Absolute breakthrough is even more difficult in uncertain economic environments like ours, to achieve success due to the fact that the economic environment can either ease doing business or make it more difficult. So whoever is thinking of becoming successful without putting in the work, time and effort, is only delusional and myopic about their perspective towards success.
Of course there are some people who still believe that without them putting in their best working hustling they will still make it in life although I believe that success comes with being so much in a work or being skillful through that means one could become successful, but the principle can never be broken. "Behind a successful man there is something workable" so, for success to come someone must be ready to work to achieve such goals, and of course you are right, there isn't anything easy in life even those who go for high way robbery they still face challenges.
