My Back-Story

10,000 Hours & BANG! You Become An Overnight Success!

The Truth Behind "Overnight Success...

We’ve all seen it happen. One day, a person or business is nowhere to be found, and the next, they’re everywhere. People call them an “overnight success.” To the untrained eye, it might seem like they appeared out of thin air. Yesterday, they were invisible, and today—Bang! Front and centre, thriving.

But here’s the reality: success is rarely, if ever, overnight. Before success arrives, in whatever form it takes, there are countless hours—often years—of learning, practicing, and growing. It’s a process of preparation, because when opportunity finally knocks, you need to be ready. It will rarely knock twice.

There’s a widely accepted idea that mastery in any field requires at least 10,000 hours of dedicated practice. It’s the 'magic' number. The threshold where skill and experience meet to create something extraordinary.

Of course the more you put in the sooner you reach that number, for some it takes years for others, who put the hours in it will come sooner, relatively speaking.

Because this journey, this relentless pursuit of mastery, is a vital part of the backstory that led to the creation of
The Business Buddy Library. It’s not just about my story—it’s about yours too. My goal is to share the lessons I’ve learned, the drive that motivates me, and the tools that can guide you on your own path to success.

It’s all about preparation, persistence, and the willingness to put in the hours. My story resulted in The Business Buddy Library, which has only one objective and that's to help you on your journey to mastery in your chosen field.

This objective is achieved through subscription, or pay-as-you-go micro-learning e-books and other media files along with unlimited support and advice and complimentary online groups, development surgeries and mastermind groups.

The Light-Bulb Moment

Turning Sparks Into Success

Every great idea begins with a spark. For me, the spark that ignited
The Business Buddy Library came from the story of Thomas Edison—the man who quite literally brought light to the world.

His journey wasn’t about instant success; it was about persistence, resilience, and a willingness to try, fail, and try again until he found the model that worked.

Edison famously said, "I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” His path to inventing the light bulb was anything but smooth. It was filled with setbacks, near-misses, and countless lessons learned. But here’s the brilliance of his approach: he didn’t rely solely on his own experience. He built on the knowledge of others, embraced collaboration, and turned every failure into a stepping stone toward success.

That lesson struck a chord with me. As a small business owner, I’ve faced my own share of challenges—moments when success felt just out of reach. But I’ve learned that the smartest way to grow is by combining your own experiences with the wisdom and insights of others.

This belief is the foundation of everything we do at The Business Buddy Library. Our approach is simple yet powerful:
Learn, Share, and Develop. Inspired by the teachings of
Napoleon Hill and other visionary thinkers, we operate like an extended mastermind group—a community built on collaboration, shared knowledge, and mutual growth.

At The Business Buddy Library, we’re not just a resource hub. We’re a thriving community of entrepreneurs, dreamers, and doers. Together, we exchange ideas, support one another, and work toward turning those “light-bulb moments” into tangible success.

Whether it’s through our e-books, personalised Zoom sessions, or
Business Development Surgeries, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Because, like Edison, we believe that success isn’t about avoiding failure—it’s about learning, adapting, and shining brighter with every step forward.
