Thank you Andrew and Brad. I found this talk very personally relevant as I've been a partner an EFL cram school for elementary school children in Taiwan for the past four years. Considering that the birth rate is under 1.2 and that more families are turning away from non-test prep schools, it's a rapidly shrinking market. I've been working crazy hours, six days a week the whole time, and earning less than people right out of college in the US!<p>I strongly feel the echoes of the "Never give up, never give up!" mentality that Andrew mentioned early in the interview, and that's a large part of what's kept me going for so long. Even now, I believe it is <i>possible</i> to grow it into a profitable and worthwhile business. I've put my savings and my time into it and I'm also emotionally attached to it. Stopping now feels like ripping out a piece of myself.<p>However, thinking of it in terms of the value of another couple of years of my life, it falls flat in comparison to starting a business or even freelancing in a growing market. This comment can't really express it fully, but this video really gave me a valuable perspective.
