This is a great article. One thing I can particularly relate to is when working on a 'blue sky' project, how easy it is to rationalise away the obvious red flags and keep going until everything falls apart. When one has invested a lot of time and built up the momentum, it's very hard to admit failure and accept the big changes that must come with letting go of a project.

I think it's particularly hard for people who are used to, and enjoy being successful - is that perhaps why university dropouts often make good company founders?
