"If you're going to try, go all the way." This is beautiful. This is my experience as a 30 year serial start-up man. When I say to myself - "I will do whatever it takes to make this work" vs. "We'll see what happens" these have always been two distinct universes in terms of the journey. "Whatever it takes" is always a nightmare filled with anxiety and stress, but the second attitude - I've rarely experienced any kind of real success with. Both journeys are pain. The first is racked with anxiety and obsession the second is mostly fear and indecision. The end state of both is relief. But "We'll see what happens" most always ends with some form of regret - perhaps I didn't do something I could have. Woulda coulda shoulda. And then it's over. "I'll do whatever it takes" is always a crazy ride towards an unknown destination, has cost me far more than I anticipated, and the rewards are never what I predicted to begin with. But it's this universe I rarely regret (and reportedly those that were along for the ride with me). So yeah, "If you're going to try, go all the way" resonates strongly with me.
