Why Most People Drop Out (and How That Becomes Your Edge)

Updated on

Most marketers think they’re in a crowded race with thousands of others. But zoom out, and you’ll see that your biggest competition is just the person who didn’t quit. Charlie Munger said it best: find a simple idea, take it seriously, and keep going.

Why This Works

  • Consistency crushes complexity
  • Most people stop too early
  • Simple ideas compound over time
  • Focus beats frenzy

Real-World Proof

  • MrBeast stuck with YouTube for years before hitting mainstream success
  • Basecamp stayed small, simple, and profitable while others chased funding
  • Mailchimp quietly grew to $700M revenue before selling—bootstrapped all the way
  • James Clear wrote 1 post per week for years before selling millions of books

In marketing, staying power is the real unfair advantage.
