It's good to know you didn't give up even when you had 1001 reason to stop pushing after the outright rejection from different clients. This story of yours is inspiringly. If there is something I learnt from this writeup , it is the fact that we shouldn't allow those things define us and our ability. Moreso, we shouldn't compare our progress with that of others. Everyone sure have a time to be in the spot light. Thanks for sharing bro.
