Don’t Despise Small Beginnings
from My Unusual Life · host Kellee R. Brooks
We all have to start somewhere right? I'll never forget an interview, Kevin Hart did with Oprah. She asked him ”how does it feel to be an overnight success?” And he answered her by saying ”an overnight success that took 20 years in the making!” You, see he wasn't an overnight success. He had started 20 years before anyone even knew his name. Borrowing clothes from his friends to do gigs in small run-down spots in Philly to make less than a couple of hundred dollars a show. He went from that to selling out stadiums all across the world. Flying in his own private jet none the less. He didn't despise the day of small beginnings, and neither should you! Again, we all have to start somewhere right? 😉
