"I spent 6 months working on the product without making a single penny, seeing my savings shrink every day. I remember one early morning when I was walking on the street and met a sweeper and I thought to myself 'what a happy guy, he works and gets paid every month.'"

I say the same to myself when I see the garbage man on Monday mornings. I thought I was the only one.

We've been in the same boat - spending our money to get our startup off the ground. However, I never became jealous of the "Garbage Man."

If anything, it's a motivator for me to see that's NOT what I set out to do - some routine job with defined inputs and outputs.
