One of the many things entrepreneurs must do is to show your supporters that you will do whatever it takes to succeed.
I really hate the "entrepreneurs/founders will do whatever it takes to succeed" trite phrase. It's common on developer and founder blogs and should be retired due to overuse. Does anyone think that founders and startup people will actually, for example, sacrifice their firstborn child or amputate their arm to make it in the business world?
Now, obviously the author is engaging in hyperbole, and doesn't really think people should sacrifice "whatever it takes." But that just goes toward my point. We know it's unnecessary to say it to prove we're serious, so why don't we stop using it and replace it with real-life language based on commitment, intelligence, trust, and hard work?
