Lately, I've been thinking about what's the best mindset a business owner should have.
Imagine you had to pick two guys: guy A and guy B.
Both started a business in a relatively competitive field.
After 3 months, both realize they are seeing no progress. They are getting no web traffic, no sales, nothing.
Guy A tells himself "I'll keep going until I start getting some positive feedback". Basically, he has decided he will never quit. He will keep going until he reaches his goal, no matter how hard or how long it will take.
Guy B tells himself "I should probably change the road. What if there's something more profitable out there, and with lower competition?". Basically, as soon as things get too hard, guy B looks for another business to start. I reckon shiny-objects syndrome is how this kind of behavior is defined.
Now, this is a legit question, but who has more probability to succeed, from your experience? Guy A or guy B?
