MailChimp was a side-project for 6 years. Todoist was a side-project for 4 years. Basecamp took 2 years before it was paying their salaries. Maybe the rest of us shouldn't be in such a hurry.

If it is 2 years in and you still need a day job then by definition it doesn’t have good fundamentals.

I say that having bootstrapped four companies. Yes they start slower than many people wish, or what they read in TC, but also the world is full of people with 3 year old “side startups” that 99% will never work.

Sorry, are you saying that a shorter, intense sprint (2 weeks, 1 month, whatever) will return better health gains than slow gains over year and years?
Arguably, MailChimp's "slow gains" over time look pretty impressive now...
I'm not encouraging people to "persistently pursue what's not working" but rather to start small, and steadily grow ideas that have good fundamentals.
