Are there any smart entrepreneurs who have tried non-stop for 25 years and have not achieved any success. Success being 10+ million dollars. It seems to me that because the world is changing so fast, we have become very sensitive to the span of time. 2+ years sounds like eternity to people if you have started a startup and hasn't hit a hockey stick yet.
What if we look at starting a startup from a different perspective in which success nor failures exists. Its a work you do everyday to solve some problem. At the end you might not solve the problem but you reconfigured the universe in which the problem you were trying to solve has been little bit more "digested" for you or others. Doing hard work for many years does matter, at least if you enjoyed doing it.
If you start a company just to make money in a very short time, working hard for many years and still failing sounds terribly scary.
