Persistent people are much more likely to ignore their misses and focus on their hits. Someone that hits 10M in revenue may have pivoted multiple times when they were below 1k in revenue trying to get traction. They probably don't even see it as a pivot, they have forgotten about the sales pitches that totally fell flat, and remember the times that a customer said "Could you also do X, we really need that"

Whole heartedly agree -- though too long in this desert without the savory success can make one feel like they're going mad.

Too many times I've found comfort from laying prone on a hard wood floor...

I'm not asking to remove the stress completely - it would just be nice to feel like I can afford a small nap pad underneath me.
