Often people behave differently when things are going well, than when things start to fail. For example, when the runway (amount of time left before the available funding dries up and the company goes of business) starts to get on the short-side, the stress level is likely to increase.<p>People don&#x27;t always have a realistic view of what they are heading into (and this includes ourselves).<p>As with most anything worthwhile, the inspiring challenge for today will likely have some periods of the &quot;daily grind&quot;. Be realistic with yourself - are you willing to stick through some of these times, or are you likely to jump ship at the first sign of difficulty? There is a balance to strike between perseverance and knowing when it is time to leave. This can be tricky.<p>Edit: fix punctuation
