Find someone who cares. When you work on something, but no one is behind you saying how wonderful or useful or needed your project is, it's easy to lose interest yourself. I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "Behind every great man is a great woman", and that woman probably gave him support and encouragement to carry on.
I had been learning how to build web sites for a long time for my wife's business but she never seemed to care, even when I complained about it, so it never got done. But when my son started up his business and called me a couple times a week with questions showing interest and need, it got up quickly to rave reviews from everyone involved and it was a feeling of immense satisfaction.
Some people have that inner drive to accomplish something when it's something they are interested in enough and just want it for themselves. They can get things done by that alone. I love doing web sites and other projects but, if I'm doing it only for myself, it's likely to be half-assed if I finish it at all.
