Great points! Short term gains cloud our long term vision! Always hard to say NO!
It seems I have heard the hunter and the farmer convo a few times in sales and marketing. Sales is like hunting, marketing is farming! you need both to succeed! You need proteins (from hunting) and nutrients (from farmers) for a well balanced diet!
I love this post Sangram. It took a lot of courage for you to say no and often times in business, people will find it hard to say no especially in the start-up world (I've seen people provide heavily discounted pricing even though it erodes value, keep customers who shouldn't be customers, or make promises they can't keep. It's tough). Kudos to you for staying true to your vision and staying the course.

Yup! Similar but the farmer in this case is all of us...
True
