We always only hear success stories. Its simply because no one writes or likes 'normal failure stories'. Once in a while we have such a beautiful story that goes viral, but for 99% of normal stories of 'it just failed' never see the light of the day.

I believe I found my success (screen.studio), but first I had to give up on it to start having a healthy relationship with my career. Only then I was able to look at myself being proud, even while seeing everyone tweet (remember, only successful people tweet - thus 'everyone' is a bit biased) about their success.

Good luck!

Yes, I have written to Courtland Allen of indiehackers.com a number of times saying I want to hear more from those who fail. What I actually want is people working with mentors and the mentors saying why they are failing. But Courtland has always wanted to focus on the success stories, since those are the models to follow. I understand that logic. But still I want to hear from those who fail, especially those who are in the process of failing.
