It does suck when that happens. I've been there. And just as I did, you're keeping it in perspective. No matter what we do, even once it's completely evident that the brand is making a big splash in the pond and is highly likely to realize major success, the progression will occur only at a rate they are able to manage without throwing gobs of borrowed money at it to speed it up. Many companies have failed even with products or brands possessing great potential merely because they got too deep into toxic debt trying to get to the top "instantly" instead of going the slow and arduous route. This company is at a turning point, so might as well wait and see what's around the bend. I personally believe it's going to be awesome. I hope it happens soon enough to put you well into the green.
