That's great. But I'm warning you now, you won't be able to operate on cloud nine forever. Eventually, you will hit a learning curve or a speedbump that will slow your progress to a halt. For me, this was having to learn javascript. (a programming language that had nothing to do with what I was learning for 30+ hours so far).<br />
<br />
But that depends on what you're doing. From what I understand there's a grind to every business endeavor and this grind is what separates you from the people you described in your last post.<br />
It looks like this:<br />

The "valley of dispair" is the slap in the face that life will give you when you think you're on top. Your whole world will get turned upside down and new challenges will present themselves. Now i don't like how this photo from google calls the begining phase "Mount stupid" because nobody is, but i would say you're getting to the peak.<br />
<br />
You've just started learning a new skillset and all skills have that easy period in the beggining. 30 hours is not a lot of time. I forgot who said this but it takes about 10,000 hours to master a feat worth mastering.<br />
<br />
Don't recieve this reply as a buzzkill, you're doing a great job so far! most people don't even have the inititive to start, let alone keep the ball rolling for 30 hours. But this post takes me back to when i was just learning how to write html tags in my old apartment. When you get to the "Valley of dispair" and thing get hard don't lose hope because seperates the millionaires from average people.

Hahaha, understood brother, I am all too familiar with that valley. When I first started learning to play the guitar almost four years ago I spent quite some time there. Even after that amount of time I recently hit a valley in my playing and decided to take up lessons and found that I was nowhere near where I thought I was in terms of how advanced I am despite playing for about an hour a night for years.<br />
<br />
I appreciate the encouragement you and I are similar I also am learning Java Script right now. What's the idea your working on?

</blockquote>I want to create a web dev business catering to a specific niche, then innovate that niche in some way that makes me stand out from my competitors. Web development is a crowded field so ill have to specialize. I'm hoping that this business will sell for 2 million. That way I can buy real estate and rent it for 2%/month of each property. I'm roughly assuming that with property managers, taxes, and maintenance costs, this will provide me 25,000 a month passively. I can then use my free time to work on my real mission, which I would like to keep a secret for now. Nothing personal. <br />
<br />
Right now I'm focusing on React and I've been doing most of my learning from The Net Ninja. He's really good at teaching and most of his content is free on youtube. If you're just doing basic front-end javascript you can just go through the same video course I did: <br />

he's not Net ninja, but he uses real-life examples in his teaching which is good for someone who's never programmed before</div>
