Not Giving Up vs. Being Stubborn

[DeletedUser394]

Do you think there is a difference between the two?

As they apply to business we see it all the time.. people clinging onto "bad" or "dead" business ideas. In some cases, these people hold on until they find themselves at the edge, when it looks like they can't push any further.. and then a bridge appears. (be it the extra financing they needed, they landed the big client, etc)

I was thinking about this as I was doing the dishes just now, and I was contemplating the monstrous hurdles that I will have to face in the near future as I set about my journey.

Does anyone have a situation where they just knew they had to drop their idea because it wasn't working, or have you ever been too stubborn to let an idea go that it ended up costing you even more?

I'm going to be launching one or two websites within the next few days/weeks. I understand that I might, and probably will fail. I understand that I willl need to learn from those mistakes if I wish to grow and succeed in the future.

The best that I can do is prepare a solid business plan, plan out my action steps, take action, etc, and have no regrets as I push off that ledge and over that hurdle of inaction.

Seeing as I sort of rambled, I no longer know where this post should go

I'm actually going to do it (ie something more than just talk)

Ryan :smx19:

Btw: No more offtopic thread starting for me... I need to focus if I want to get this done. This means 1 of 2 things. Either my posting will be down significantly in the coming weeks, or, I will have loads of questions. I'm banking on the latter :icon_super:
