How long is 10,000 hours? Well, it is 5.5 years working for five hours a day. So, yes, we have a lot of work to do to achieve our goal of building an income stream.

As daunting a task as this may seem, you will enjoy every bit of the journey. I am about 2,000 hours into my path (roughly a year), and I just love the originality and creativity that you must present to your audience.

Nobody is going to do the work for you, nor does anyone owe you anything. You can write 600+ articles and only get five views a day. That's life, and the best way to get better results is to keep writing (or shooting videos, etc.).

I would never have guessed how unique the process of creating an income stream was until I started. If you want to have your own income stream through retirement, I suggest you start now.

Whatever you love, whatever niche—start blogging, shooting, or writing about it today. The sooner you get over the 5.5 years, the better your position for retirement! Good Luck.
