Giving-up isn't a pivot

→ It's quitting
→ It always follows
→ Failing to raise capital
→ Or failing to land customers

But there's a big difference

Between quitting

And starting over

→ I take courage
→ Go back to square one
→ Work through my flawed idea
→ Until it becomes viable

That's the work of an entrepreneur

It's how I've survived
