@tomnoske: The first few years of entrepreneurship are an absolute sh*t fight. There’s not really any other way to describe it. The lessons that eventually create your success, are learnt from surviving the chaos of those first few years. Most people don’t fail because their idea was bad, or their execution was off. Most people fail because they can’t stomach it. They quit during those initial few years. But if you can push through, and find a way to keep going, then your chances of success increase exponentially. A lot of my most successful students aren’t more talented than the rest. My most successful students are more persistent than the rest.
