Your startup is a gunslinger
Your startup ideas don’t want to die peacefully of old age. They want to go down pistols blazing, in a gunfight with the market.
And you’ll find that more often than you imagine, they stand back up–looking a touch different thanks to the bullet holes–with a new lease on life and a few new tricks up their sleeves.
The more time you let pass between these little scuffles with the market, the more likely your hopeful company is to stay down for good.

Definitely an image to keep in mind – thanks!
My pleasure!
