The influencers you see are the 1% who made it, and given luck plays a role it's indeed possible they made it "easily" and therefore candidly but erroneously preach that story. I've failed a half dozen times too, but only at side-hustles, and that discouraged me from going all in, but I've also been successful once (albeit very moderately) and that was with the least effort of all my attempts. So I think the lesson is to keep trying only if you value the journey as much as the intended destination, that way even if you don't reach the target you'll presumable still get some fulfillment from the journey (for me it was learning no-code tools, learning to produce professional quality print materials, etc.)
