I've lost count of the numerous web ventures I've launched only to ditch them a few month later. As a web developer I've had the advantage of building whatever came to mind, which also turned out to be a bad thing becuase I'd quickly drop one project to start another "sure-shot". I've recently started a venture and this time around my plan is to stick it out for a few years to nuture its growth. From what I've been reading, most of the sites receiving all the attention today were started a few years ago. Great post Ryan.

It's really telling to take a look through, say, the list of ruby on rails projects and see just how many are either dead links, or have cobwebs in the corner of the screen. Part of it seems to be that people who create businesses on the net are much more passionate about the net than about business. Another aspect is that people seem to be striving for that meteoric rise to fame for making the next digg, or flickr. But one of the most interesting things for me is to see the stories over at http://uncommonbusiness.blogspot.com/ . People who are working in obscurity, yet have managed to be continuously and quietly successful as so many famous companies failed. I think you’re right – patience is key.
