Depending on how long you’ve been working on it and how hard you’ve marketed it, it’s important not to miss a signal that you should move on. While we all have problems with motivation from time to time, some things aren’t worth motivating yourself for and it’s important to recognise that. This might not apply if it’s just a hobby project - but a hobby project should probably be fun. If it’s a serious attempt at a business rethink your marketing strategy. Nothing will motivate you more than signups and revenue.
- mertleee 2y agoAs a past founder this is immensely important. Think very carefully about he financial impacts of "taking the idea to term" and more importantly if you're happy with your current life. In many cases if you're asking yourself questions like this you likely don't have traction to make this a real thing and should maybe consider moving on.

Personally I've always done it for the fans. The people who take the time to fill out the surveys with lots of thanks or write articles about how much they loved my app. Or the people who drive to the next city to transfer money (because we didn't support card payments then) and then tell us to keep the change. It's more than just "signups and revenues", it's more about not letting people down.
