When people tell you, “Entrepreneurship equals overnight success”, ignore it because it’s trash.

It’s your own business; you have a thousand of things running on your mind: How to raise funds, how to expand your business, Revenues, etc. If you’re dedicated enough you’ll chant your financials in your dream. You talk about hours, you’ll be involved for years, without thinking—“Enough work man!”
