What did you think you were really good at until you saw someone who was *actually* really good at it?

Started freelancing at a young age (about 15). Did it for 3 years until I turned it into a businesses by the time I was 18. Took 4 more years of building businesses & failing tons. Until finally at 22 I was making great money & felt pretty happy with my achievements. It all got to my head and I felt like I was some "superior being". Every month, I pretty much made someone's annual salary (a good one).

Then I went to a business conference in Singapore to meet other entrepreneurs etc... I met like 30+ dudes who were in their early 20s (some younger than me) and making over $1 mill USD/mo. This totally blew my mind & made me realize how what I "thought" was hard work, wasn't hard work at all. It put me in my place. Went back to the states motivated as hell.
