Interesting post. The way I see it, what this post is saying is that "Just starting" isn't good enough, since you have to stick with it, sometimes for a long time, before reaching any measure of success. I completely agree with this idea. But I think you'll find that most of the people saying "just get started" are already following it up with "you have to stick to it for a long time to succeed". In fact, the origin of the common "just start" lesson is the fact that many successful people look at their achievements and think (rightly or not) that they're something anyone can do. The most common reason other people don't do it is because they don't believe they can, hence the "just get started and stick to it, you can succeed too" advice.
