Read This When You Feel Like Giving Up ๐Ÿ”ฅ Nobody talks about this side of building a startup: โ†’ The 2AM breakdowns โ†’ The ignored cold emails โ†’ The demo that crashed in front of your first investor โ†’ The friend who โ€œloved the ideaโ€ but never signed up Youโ€™re not alone. Every founder โ€” even the greats โ€” felt this. But you only see their after-stories: The funding, the exits, the articles. What you donโ€™t see? โ†’ The 43 rejections before 1 yes โ†’ The sleepless nights, silent doubts โ†’ The time they almost shut it down Building something from nothing is brutal. Itโ€™s not a LinkedIn reel. Itโ€™s a test of obsession. But hereโ€™s the good news: If it hurts this much โ€” it means you care. And thatโ€™s your edge. Because mediocre founders quit when it gets hard. Great ones endure. Not because theyโ€™re smarter. But because they canโ€™t not build it. So if todayโ€™s hard? Sleep. Cry. Vent. But wake up tomorrow โ€” and keep building. Youโ€™re closer than you think. Learning : The world doesnโ€™t need another funded deck. It needs someone bold enough to build through the pain. We see you. And weโ€™ve got your back.

Most people don't get this. The law of averages always works. You keep calling, showing up, doing the reps and one day, it lands. Not because you're smart. Not because you're lucky. But because numbers don't lie. You just quit too early.

Let me share a story. Growing up, my generation was introduced to the slogan: "Don't work hard, work smart." At first, it seemed like good advice, because the argument was that even a rickshaw puller works hard but struggles to make ends meet. To pr

You donโ€™t need to burn out to build something great. But most founders do. Not because they want toโ€” Because theyโ€™re too deep in the weeds. Worried about bugs. Juggling freelancers. Fixing things customers should never see. At some point, buildin
