Do you expect it to ever get easier?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, learn how a New York-based painter went from poverty to riches by sticking with it, and how you can achieve success by following his example!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A New York painter was so poor, he had to go to a public gym if he wanted a shower.  But he was talented, and he kept painting for years and trying to show his work.  Today, his paintings sell for $25,000 each!  His style is unique, and there is little competition at his level.  People want to buy his work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Daniel Webster said, \u201cThere\u2019s always room at the top.\u201d  As you reach higher levels in life, things get easier.  There\u2019s little competition among the highly successful.  But most people get stuck in the middle.<\/p>\n
