>>If you aren’t getting rejected on a daily basis, your goals aren’t ambitious enough.<<

This is a crucial piece of advice. A few months ago I remember Jeff Bezos caught some flack because Amazon wasn't failing enough, which lead people to think Amazon wasn't taking enough risks. Although I disagree with that analysis of Amazon, the core concept is still true.

It's also refreshing to see that Chris Dixon was rejected a ton before becoming successful. I get rejected on a daily basis and to be honest - it takes a lot out of me. However, when I read something like this it makes me realize all of this rejection is worthwhile and part of finding my way to success.
