Understanding the Valley of Death
The Valley of Death.
Its the period in the life of a startup in which it has begun operations but has not yet generated revenue.
But its true meaning goes beyond startups!
In Bible, The prophet Jeremiah described the Valley of the Shadow of Death as a solitary place, a wilderness, a land of deserts and pits, and a land of drought.
It’s the period after 1st of January after every year new year when people start disappearing from gyms after taking subscription.
When a student gives up when she cannot understand a concept.
Its also the period in LinkedIn and other content creation journeys when people “give up” after the initial success. When the results and feedback starts to dry out.
When one has to walk through the difficult “solitary place”, “in wilderness”.
So many ideas and dreams we leave out in the valley of death.
To pick up easy ideas and dreams that lead us to nowhere.
And as Bob Ross said “You absolutely have to have dark in order to have light”.
Wait for the end of valley of death for the good times to come.
