Every person has their own timeline of success. Others succeed sooner others later. As in everything, both timelines have both advantages and disadvantages.
Where do you want to be ten years from now? It’s is a good question, but it’s so far off it doesn’t help as much as shortening the time period. Where do you want to be two years from now? That’s a better question because it’s long enough to dream and short enough to make it happen. Figure that out and then ask: HOW CAN I DO THAT IN SIX MONTHS?
My hiatus timeline is so minimal, there's only a select number of projects that I can go in for.
