Really glad that you added a touch of humanity and compassion to this piece of advice. To the OP (Chris, right?): you will eventually make it. "Keep working hard" is great advice. I'd add "keep your eyes open" and "believe in yourself without ignoring the weaknesses you need to work on". The effort you put into the language on your website speaks for itself: you've spent a lot of time and effort on this. But it's not clear what your value proposition is and you're at risk of making a bunch of decisions that will lose you your $3,000. I don't normally recommend the lean startup, but for you I'd strongly recommend picking up that book at a library or bookstore and really internalizing the messages in there. If you decide to continue with your venture, then you need to get out of the building. If you decide to put it on hold for a while, join another startup with a founder you admire and watch her every move. Good luck.
