“There are a lot of ideas out there that fail and there are some success stories that prove that it’s possible. Have stamina and make sure you’re in it for the long run. Don’t see it as a sprint or even a marathon, it’s more like an ultrathon. Hang in there and keep fighting for what you believe in.”
