"Doubt is born out of fatigue and loneliness, and there is a lot of both when you are running a start up. Hang in there and keep your feet moving - there’s still a lot of time for you to change the world."<p>What I needed to hear right now. Right now we're facing very similar competition and finding it hard to crystallise why we are different. Maybe it's time to throw in the towel but sentiments like this keep you going.

Mike's amazing at 'Marketing 2.0'. Smart dude working in what could have been a dull space that he and the freshbooks crew manage to make interesting.

Each point had me saying "ok tell me more!". I wish he had elaborated more on each point.

<i>Thinking we had to move faster than we did...Turns out I was wrong</i><p>This runs contrary to a lot of current wisdom.<p>I often find myself feeling like I'm moving a little too fast, wanting to say, "Whoa, slow down and think this part of it through a little more." Then I feel guilty. Am I crazy or should I trust my gut?<p>I wish OP would say a little more about his experience. <i>Why</i> does he feel this way now? A few reference points sure would come in handy.
