I would like to know your opinion on "When to drop the ball when trying to build a business?" You need to persevere, but like playing poker, you invested so much energy that it might be hard to pull the plug. Success might be just around the corner...

Totally! To clarify, by the "drop the ball" do you mean knowing when to call it quits if something is not working out? I recently wrote about my experience with that: https://www.derrickreimer.com/essays/2019/05/17/im-walking-a...

My friend Justin Jackson also published a good article about this too: https://justinjackson.ca/giveup

Thanks to you, I finally read The Mom Test. It was extremely insightful alongside your written experience.
That's awesome!
You are referring to sunk cost fallacy.
