As an entrepreneur, if you stay in the game long enough, you will inevitably reach the point where you ask yourself: "why the hell am I still doing this?"
Dead broke with no hope in sight? Easier to go get a normal job.
Flush with cash? Easier to put your feet up and relax.
Beautiful product with no adoption? Easier to toss it and start over.
It may seem easier to run (time to bump some Linkin Park), but at some point you have to dig deep and see the uncertainty through.
Took me about a decade to realize this, but the clarity that comes after you forge ahead is the only antidote to the fog that lingers after giving up too soon.
Show up.
Play the long game.
Take care of yourself.
Don't forget why you started down this path in the first place.
