And that's exactly the kind of thing Justin argues is just another excuse to give up. I have this heresy that one of the most common reasons for startup failure is founder boredom, but few founders ever admit it.



heresy != heresay ;)


No, I do mean heresy, as in an uncommon belief. And what you think I meant is spelt hearsay, not heresay.


"I have this heresy" was your original statment which does not parse.

Heresay is, as I understand it, the correct spelling (at least in a legal sense).


I can't find the meaning of heresay. Maybe my grammatical usage of heresy in the sentence is incorrect, but I do mean it in this way - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/heresy

(Sorry, my initial Google search automatically replaced "heresay" with "hearsay" in my search. I hate that Google has started doing this, instead of the old "did you mean x?")
