Good video guys! I'm reading The Dip by Seth Godin and he talks about something similar. Basically, he says that each project has either a dip or a cul-de-sac.
Being successful is about being able to identify the dips and powering through the low points. Look on low points as opportunities rather than threats, if you are having a hard time and feeling tired, so are your competitors, but you can commit to getting through it, where your competitors may quit. If you can be the best in some niche, no matter how small, then you stand a chance and should power through.
It's also important to spot the cul-de-sacs and quit them to focus your energy on a better idea. This is where I have trouble, sinking too much time in something that won't work. Here's where passion is a problem, because it often clouds the practical side, which tells you to it's a non-starter.

This was your best video yet. Not to be sappy, but seriously, top notch.
To add to it, I've read before that what you "fear" becomes much less scary when you actually face it. Its like no big deal, its all in your perception.
cheers.
