Being a startup is frustrating. Better yet, it sucks! It sucks because you have big dreams but those dreams don't line up with reality...yet. It goes much slower than it should. Any inevitably out come frustration...

Entrepreneurs can indeed learn important lessons from failure, but failure w/o the lesson - especially when they mount up one after the other, is just depressing.

I'm glad you asked, Mike - I was going to suggest that you click on my (or anyone's) avatar to find contact info, only to realize I'd never updated mine w/my Twitter info - it's just "businessavante". Oops!

Hi Michael,

I think the hard part is continuing when others close to you undermine your best efforts.

Sometimes you have to close your ears and eyes are drive forward… and hope it pays off.

but the upside for me is that the 'journey is the reward'.
