Megan Holstein, you are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing the honest truth. This article speaks more than just “how to make it on Medium” it’s about “how to succeed at anything you set your mind to” — (1) commit to it and do it every day for the next 2 years, (2) give yourself no other option but to succeed, and (3) ignore the numbers and the shortfalls, keep going and you’ll get there… Congrats on how far you’ve come and thanks for showing us the light on how far we can go.
