Did the people who have achieved the success you expect do more or less work than you've done ? "I expected at least 20 sign ups by now", "I expected at least 100 visits a day by now", "I expected at least $1000 a month by now". Try and find out what other people had to do to get to those milestones, if you have done a lot less then perhaps you should push on, if you've done a lot more, maybe your on the wrong track. A rough heuristic but better than gut feel, perhaps.
