Today I stumbled upon a great post - "7 Rejections" by AirBnB CEO and Co-founder Brian Chesky.
You can read it here: https://medium.com/@bchesky/7-rejections-7d894cbaa084
Long story short, it's about AirBnB getting 7 rejections (from ultra smart people) before getting their first round of financing.
I understand the game of not giving up. Ever. I mean I get that, but where do you draw the line between idea being great and being delusional and thinking that that idea is great. Because for some time AirBnB staff where the only ones who thought that the idea was really great. All the other professionals and tech-investors where not excited.
So, my question is, how long do you keep going even if anyone else says that your idea is not that great? Until you run out of money?
