S-curves in Commerce and Courtship

I’ve spent a total of just three years dating, really.

Married young, I skipped that dance at first.

But those years burned bright—intense and full of change.

In the beginning, I craved experience. Each rejection mapped new terrain. I cast wide nets, approaching anyone who sparked interest.

Now, two years into trying to make money, I'm still throwing things at walls to see what sticks.

It feels like that first two years spent dating. Hundreds of rejections.

Working my wife's ice cream stall reminded me of this: every customer, like every date, carries oceans of meaning.

Got to find a way to jump into the water as much as possible.
