Agreed. Though re-reading it, I think the point may have been more about quitting after 3 months and not so much that you don't gain anything the first 3 months.

> 5/ if I had only worked on a startup for a year, I would've gotten nowhere, the same way that if you lift for 3 months, it achieves nothing. Everything good in life comes from perseverance, but at the beginning, you're just like "I need to be somebody!!!"

It may be more about persevering beyond that arbitrary time limit and trying to get to a certain real goal instead... maybe.
