What's something about Entrepreneurship that's crazy important but noone seems to talk about it?

I'll start. The Psychology of it all. And the Attitude to be unfazed by consistent, consecutive failures.

Came here to say the same. The psychological aspects and mental health are crucial. Entrepreneurship is an emotional roller coaster, yet you hear so little about the small every struggles people go through. For me some of the most frustrating and demotivating moments has been when I discovered a competitor doing exactly what I was planning to do.

@mrbopa I know exactly what you mean. For me sometimes the feelings switch between joy ( that my feature idea is validated) to absolute despair ( how am I going to get users for this now?)

To identify the balance between holding on and letting go!

@subhendu_singh very true. How do you define what's considered a 'failure' and what is 'premature quitting'?

@adarsh_warrier1 I guess in the context of the products if the product is not getting enough traction after exploiting multiple marketing channels, there are chances the product is not fit for the market, that can be evaluated and the idea can be pivoted. If you don't even validate the product-market fit, that in opinion is pre-mature quitting.

Yea the total emotional rollercoaster. I have had my main high and my main lows while building projects. It feels difficult to share this especially when you are solo

@anton_von_hunerbein True, and yet since everyone highlight only the highs, it almost always feels like you are the only one who has the lows, and that feels even more demotivating.
