I was having an interesting discussion with my co-founder about failure and we started to talk about at what point would we give up if our current startup failed, and the next one failed, and the next one...<p>After how many startups would you think, well this is wasting my time, better get on with the rat race? For me, I think I will only give up when I’m not enjoying what I’m doing and if there is no food on the table.<p>My co-founder was surprised. I was wondering, at what point will you give up?
I was wondering about this the other day but from a different perspective - wondering what retirement will look like for my friends and I, and we concluded it will look the same as not being retired.<p>If you are passionate about this you must learn to translate that into revenue that pay salaries - at least your own, or it is not an alternative to working.
