Thanks for the advise. The cause - effect relationship makes sense to an engineering mind. I do suspect though, that my problem is more of a psychological nature, and specifically it's the fear of the unknown and failure. Xcode is such a cozy little place :)

It may be a cliche, but it's really important to start small. One of our first goals was to make $1 in a single day from ad revenue. Then we set other goals that were similarly modest -- nothing that would take more than 1-2 weeks to reach.

We have built a lot of momentum this way. Regardless of how small the objective is, meeting goals (especially when they're clearly tied to revenue) is a a momentum builder.

Baby steps

yep, baby steps is a good strategy in general, so I am familiar with the process. With baby steps I really came a very long way, in my App development.
