Fear not, everyone fails before they succeed.

  That's not entirely true. Definition of failure varies broadly for different people the same way definition of success. I know few entrepreneurs very closely who made their first startup very successful. Sure, it was very challenging along the way, but they made it in the end. May be the fair statement would be - "Failed in one startup doesn't mean you failed as an entrepreneur. There is still hope that you can make the next one successful."

    Yeah, I'll be damned if I let my business fall over. There have been plenty of really hellacious tough times already, but I refuse to give up on it. I have a little trouble understanding how anyone else can build something from scratch and then walk away from it.

      If you have to add money to it to keep it running that would be one very good motivation to call it quits, another is that you see bigger opportunities elsewhere but you can't focus on those because of the albatross around your neck.
