"Poking the piñata" was a concept in Unscripted that really resonated with me. If you think about it, it is a really good metaphor. The piñata is the market. Full of money. Waiting to be smacked wide open. We try and try (poke) to open it up, but it doesn't break. Unfortunately many of us give up before we can hit it hard enough to make it open. We either get discouraged and give up or are no longer willing to do what it takes to make the piñata open up. At what point do you try to find another piñata? When do you chalk it up as a loss and move on. The problem is that some of us move on just when the piñata is about to break. So how do you know when it is time? If you know that all you need to do is keep whacking it, why stop? Why not just keep whacking? The same exact thing will happen if you get brand new piñata. What then? Your problem isn't a bad, defective piñata, your problem is YOU and your unwillingness to do the work to open it up. Your unwillingness to create a product or service worthy of opening it. You never failed enough times to succeed. Maybe you didn't want it bad enough... Maybe you're trying to hit too many piñatas.

So what are you going to do? Keep hitting until you see cash or quit and walk away? You decide.
