Another article on no overnight success...
"If you’re already in a startup and feeling overwhelmed I highly recommend watching “Running the Sahara” to help put things in perspective. Also here are some personal tips that have helped me through the hard times:
Keep moving – Even if its just a little bit everyday. Accomplishing small goals and keeping momentum is one of the most important things to staying alive.
Expect the unexpected – It’s impossible to know everything that will happen in advance.
Ignorance is bliss – If you knew all the hardships ahead beforehand it would be incredibly hard to ever start.
Pushing personal limits – Your own personal limits are the only thing stopping you not your competition, lack of money, lack of market share, etc.
The experience is the journey itself – It’s not about the end (acquisition, IPO, etc) but the everyday moments that make startups what they are.
