Comment on Ask HN: How do you avoid one shot events and still be successful?

Comments

I have failed at more businesses than most people here will ever dare to start. Products I spent time and money developing have had to be shelved due to circumstances outside of my control. Every day I get rejected by people (prospects) who I pitch to. Of all the investors I have pitched to, I have only managed to bring two on-board (on different occasions). I spend about four hours a week emailing and messaging people in order to get them to buy my products. Most of that time is lost on people who never respond. Its a constant uphill battle that only gets easier as you move along. You can't avoid any of this, because you cannot avoid failure.
