Usually, when I have a "good" idea, I set myself a big milestone and work extremely hard and focused towards it.
Its usually new tech or in a new domain so I do all the research and get the workflow from beginning to end working.
The problem is, this milestone is usually 85% of a prototype and 20% of a product. And at this point all the fun and motivation is gone and "launching" was never so interesting to me as "getting this finally to work".
So usually I commit my code at this point, push it and go do something else. :)
Honestly it only ever worked once for me and that was when I showed the prototype to an audience and they kept me motivated to keep going but I have a feeling this is not the best way to go about it.

To me this seems like the way to go - build a prototype and get it out there as soon as you can. The feedback will keep you motivated, show you if the product is good/useful/needed, and guide you on what direction to go next.
