I'm an ex-gamer and I just found this image in my bookmarks, and thought we could all relate to it.
This is the learning curve of the game Eve Online compared to other MMOs and it's pretty accurate haha:

Fixed version specifically for AM:

"Gaming Skill" changed to "AM Skill", "Time Spent Playing" to "Time Spent Grinding" and the 3 easy alternatives are just boring, regular day jobs.
This is indeed quite close to learning AM and the struggles we all go through before we start seeing any profits.
Hahaha....so true and accurate! And hilarious!!
I know a lot of people advise to treat AM as a business. I prefer to treat it like a game where dollars are just points and I'm striving for a higher score - takes the stress off that way and makes it a lot more fun! 
Thanks shishev for the post!

Nice post man, love the graphics! 
LOVED it.
Such an awsome graph and loved the adaptation to AM.
It is an uphill battle but its also dynamic and thrilling, while most regular day jobs are "steady eddie" (not that theres anything wrong with that
).
Hahahahaha such a gruesome start to AM, hangings, executions, cliff jumps, but once you get in that bulldozer Oooh lord is the ride worth it!
