Exactly! People aim for results in a very short period of time, whereas if you want to be successful you need to grind. You put 5 years learning about a spear and catch no fish in the five years, but when you have mastered the skill, you catch 1000s of fish in a single day. What most people do is that they learn how to catch fish, and they catch maybe 10 fish a day. That will still be less than the person who mastered the skill. The person who is a master of using the spear would catch the equivalent number of fish as a normal person catches in 5 years, in just 10 days.
