Patience and persistence are the most important: 20VC did not make a $ for 2 years & 100 shows. 20VC did not get 1,000 plays for a show until show 75. I emailed Marc Benioff 53 times before he agreed to come on (apologies Marc 😉) Persistence and patience is everything. #Founder #funding #business #investing #vc #venturecapital #entrepreneur #startup
And then how patient are Venture Capital firms? 😏
There’s no such thing as an overnight success. There’s only persistence and hard work.
Good point, Harry. Being directionally right is important too. From the start, you were tapping into an unmet need. There is a big market for the interviews you deliver. Sadly, some people spend years of their lives working on things that will likely go nowhere. Persistence is best if you persistently look for the right direction (rather than persistently pursuing the wrong path).
Success often comes from relentless persistence and unwavering patience. 1/ Consistent effort builds momentum over time. 2/ Patience helps navigate through initial setbacks. 3/ Repeatedly reaching out can eventually open doors. These qualities are key to achieving long-term goals. Thanks for sharing your journey! P.S. Ever wonder what Marc Benioff thought after the 50th email?
Amazing reading this! We're at episode 42 at gigacast, its getting better and better but the 60 views per episode in the beginning were very sad. Thanks for sharing and motivating to keep pursuing!
💯
Perseverance is one of my favorite words! 53 times, now that is admirable! keep on rocking!
Hard work and not giving up are really important for building a successful business.
