People are a company's greatest asset.  Pursue long-term visions to solve long-term problems with long-term people and you will set the path for perpetual success.  Too often, startups to want to chase the "quick win" that we see on Twitter or news feeds.  What we don't see about those success stories, is the mass of work that lies below the surface, and like an iceberg only a small portion of the story visible.  Buckle down and prepare for the long journey ahead, and if that deters your motivation, then perhaps you can solve a more meaningful problem and you should pivot!
