"... Cemal started to convince me that Cashgenius is a really hard way to go. We have also spoken wtih a couple of prospects and realized that they are not using computer to manage their financial situation. I was in a situation where I wasted again my resources for a product where no customer exists to start up the engines of my business. My game plan was gone. I was falling apart."
Feels like this is as big an issue as any - you were working on a product you believed in, but when it became clear the product wouldn't work exactly how you wanted, you dumped the whole thing in the trash and went to chase the soul crushing social media wave. Better plan may have been to spend more time finding out how you could change Cashgenius to fit to a potential market?
I could be wrong here, but pivoting a product is nearly always better than trashing it at the first sign of difficulty and chasing the new hot fashion.
