I've found myself stuck in that endless cycle for years. I find myself highly motivated for the first few weeks, thinking about a future where I can work on this full time.
As the project shapes up, I lose interest and start to doubt my idea, wondering why people would ever pay for this. Eventually I work on it less and less until one day I decide to not work on it anymore.
- wolco 6y agoIt sounds like working on something full time is what motivates you. To get people to pay for anything is usually a different side project. If you can't see the path to profit no one probably will pay. Find people who will pay and use that as motivation and product guidance.
- woutr_be 6y agoMy ultimate goal (like many) is to have a lifestyle business, or at the very least, be able to work full time on my project. I think thinking that people won't pay for it has more to do with self doubt and lack of confidence in myself.
- wolco 6y agoGet people to pay you first if possible that will help motivate and focus you.
- losthobbies 6y agoIs it in a state that you could release it? Maybe some feedback might give you motivation or direction to keep going.
