And yes it sometimes pays off to operate at a loss for long term gain. Most businesses due this at the start.

Look at "Ask Jeeves" sold for almost 2 billion dollars yesterday. How long will that business be in a loss till it can turn a profit?
I agree.

And it's my intention for certain ventures. However some have a hard time seeing past "net loss" from the get-go.

This is just so common in B&M, with online we have much smaller initial investments so an ROI is in most cases easier to grasp.
