I'm not 100% sure if you were taking the "overnight success" term and applying it to the "over night" work that you were doing (literally working during the night), but either way... that is BRILLIANT way of putting it.

I am a big believer in FriendFeed, and have been a visible promoter of
you, the team, and what you're trying to do. My expectations are big
enough, they probably rank only behind yours. I knew posting what I did
was a risk as it could encourage the naysayers to pile on (which some
did), but I think you understand my motivations.

So I guess "overnight success" doesn't really happen overnight. I admire that you work hard and are really passionate about what you preach. Thank you for all your helpful tips and insights. I sometimes share them with my students of business courses and we have discussions about your blog posts.

The atmosphere was primed and all it needed was a trigger (southerly change coming in earlier than expected!) and plenty of moisture. James and Dann also chase today and should have some more info about this storm from the NW suburbs. It was great fun! plenty of development, some very heavy rain and strong winds as well as 1cm hail.

Great thoughts Chris! As a stressed out entrepreneur, the best thing that's happened to me is getting a good night sleep. I started working out a few times a week and, for the most important days, i drank a rebloom 30 minutes before bedtime. Once I started catching my z's, I was much more productive. TVALaCarte.org is about to go from a dream to a reality.

Cheers!

This post really hit home. People ask me how often I got 45K + Twitter followers so quickly and I tell them that I first suggested the user list about 2 quality content and consistently building community, which for years full-time tweeting on Twitter was being raised at is. No shortcuts. Work, commitment, purpose, and is essential for stability. And once you do that success, keep and maintain it there, a whole other post:)

Hey Chris, I really enjoyed your "Overnight Success" series. So it seems that overnight success IS achievable provided a person puts in enough "overnight" day in and day out effort. Hmm... I'm starting to see a trend here.

I especially like the "Overnight Success does not" list, of which I'd add, "Overnight Success doesn't resign, give up, or quit, but keeps moving forward while remembering the journey is more important than the actual destination."

I'm reminded of a quote by Viktor Frankl in his book Man's Search For Meaning-
"Don't aim at success - the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue... as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself."

All the best in your overnight journey!

Although one of these days you and Gary Vee and everyone out there who can be everywhere at once need to write a post telling us how the hell to get everything that needs to get done to be a Trust Agent and Crush it while not having your wife shoot you and be there for your kids :). I've said it once, I'll say it again.

That was brilliant and so well stated. Thank you for bringing to light that it takes hardwork to get there. It really inspired me not just in blogging but also in life.

The trouble with being an Established Successful Guy like Chris is that the whole world wants him at once. So he goes straight from a convention in Atlanta to Paris to deliver a 20 minute talk then straight back to the US to consult to his high end clients, and on and on. There's no chill time for a social media evangelist. Gary Vee's treading the same boards. Want to help them get more sleep? Step up and spread the same message.

"...need to write a post telling us how the hell to get everything that needs to get done..." @garyvee has already done that, given us his secret method - plain old hustling thru the night, personally answering every incoming tweet and email. Approaching a million followers too! And he's already @ replied to little 'ol me.
You, and I, rightly wonder how these powerhouse guys do it with a young family. Again look at Gary's #1 rule - love your family, and we can see he does. There's a severe cost if you don't - see (via my twitter profile) a commentary blogpost I wrote about social media gurus and their failed marriages. Chris truly GETS social media, and I love his Overnight Success series. New to the internet community I salute his tireless work and am totally inspired by his incredible experience and wisdom that he passes on everywhere he goes.

Chris, this excerpt from your REAL life is pretty touching and you're showing us where the rubber really meets the road in laying the foundation for entrepreneurial success. Do I want to put in that sort of single-minded effort? Yes! Using yet a third metaphor, I'm hardly on my way to 1st base yet, but I know what's NOT consuming my time. I'm so focused on what I know I have to do that I no longer watch any TV, not even the daily news. I used to spend a lot of time reading online newspapers; not any more. Thanks so much. I feel for all you guys/gals with young kids.

Definitely right, success doesn't come easy. The question to answer: do you really want success? All this time you spend doing this, doing that, away from your family, without having time for hobbies etc. Is it worth it? Everyone must answer for himself I guess.

I love this quote, but people have to "try" to succeed at least....this means not letting fear get the best of them. Too many people who could be very successful, are hindered by fear!
