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.

To prove our points, we would both need to look at startup graveyard and ask: "What are the causes of business failure?" I think it's: - founder burnout - running out of money - hiring the wrong people - having bad fundamentals
isn't this what happens when you rush?
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...
Higher than those are thing are : stupid product, bad strategy, founder with little talent.
