I'm also very impressed with Patrick's ability to disassociate business success and failure from his personal success and failure. What I mean: if something I worked on "fell off a cliff" I'd be a lot more panicky and less likely to step back and say "that's ok" as he did in his post. I'd probably take it as a personal failure rather than rationalizing it as a matter of time investment trade offs. Lesson to learn: it's okay to let some things decay so that attention and focus can be paid to the right things.

Yeah, I've let projects die off in this fashion, but I still feel a pang of regret when I think about them and all the time I sank into them. It always feels like maybe I should have sold them off/given them away so that someone else could have helped them reach their potential. Then again, BCC seems to have reached much higher heights than I would have thought its potential was, so maybe it's more of a "Mission Accomplished" there.
