Do they, though? I feel it's more instinct people have that sacrifice leads to reward, when in fact the people who suffer the most for too long drive themselves into a ditch.
Yeah, I dont think this is true either. It's a mix of a belief in the intrinsic effectiveness of the frugal protestant work ethic and credulity of the successful founders who hitch themselves to it when they write their origin story.
I’m not saying this is great for you, or even that it’s required to do big things, but to say you’ll fail isn’t true.
This suffering is a function of your startup’s rate of growth.
