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.
