You trained, you have a lot of experience and you are a great professional, but unfortunately, the results are not aligned with your efforts, titles and commitment, just as it was for me. Maybe you see other people, much less prepared, get great results or even worse some young people who, thanks to the internet, do a lot while you are unable to monetize the network as you would like.
