Right, is it grit to save your startup at the cost of your marriage? Life is all about tradeoffs.

Personally I think the ability to make appropriate effort / reward choices > "grit". Of course, to an investor, abandoning everything else in your life to focus on their investment is "grit".




Grit isn't about trading A for B. It's about trading off idleness and pain avoidance for effort.

Pain is temporary, different from destruction.
