Running a start-up is like eating glass. You just start to like the taste of your own blood.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Like having a child, running a startup is the sort of experience that's hard to imagine unless you've done it yourself.
I have been running since I was 7. I was trying to restructure the way my body was made instead of trying to master the way I ran. I would get so frustrated with my starts in practices that I would just cry. When I ran, I wouldn't even try to get out of the blocks, I would just run.
You need help when you're starting out. On the other hand, some people are very naturalistic to begin with.
Start-ups make so many mistakes that the challenge to identify the root cause of a failure is tough. But believing in your own plan is probably the worst.
There's no point starting something you don't intend to finish.
We all have to start somewhere, and doing something is better than nothing at all. Start small so you don't get discouraged and give up. Remember it is all about consistency.
I start nearly every day with a workout.
I'm like a slow starter. Everything I've done has built, or has taken a while.
I like starting. It's pretty cool.
Start-ups should be hunch-driven early on and data-driven as they scale.
