Don't start any projects without validation. Get in the habit of validating an idea as the first step. After many failed attempts at apps, websites, ecommerce etc (I finished the projects but was really discouraged for awhile), I have gotten into the habit of building a landing page, and trying to drive traffic as the first thing I do, rather than touching anything having to do with tech. Only recent after 5 or 6 failed full fledged apps/sites, have I started doing it. I went through 4 or 5 ideas with no interest, until I came up with http://makerops.com http://makerops.com, and had 1000+ people sign up in 2 days! That's what motivated me to keep trying.
