Just a thought... if all you are bringing to the party are the idea and design skills, maybe you are over estimating your contribution to these projects. It's always important to finish stuff as a smaller piece of a large pie is better than 100% of nothing. Perhaps this is the time to really evaluate if giving away more than you're comfortable with will help you achieve your dreams. If your projects are really worth something, then it really shouldn't be difficult for you to "sell" the idea to potential co-founders on an equity, or part equity, part financial basis. If you cannot even sell it to developers or business people, then the idea is probably not worth pursuing and you should stop immediately, not weeks or months later. On a side note, if you are spending 4 to 8 months on just design, you are probably doing it wrong. You really need to meet some smart people, work with them, and learn about each others' working habits. Developers won't blindly follow someone who can only design, and bring zero business sense into a venture. You either need to up your skills, get some more funding, find people who can fill all the holes that you can't do, or come up with better ideas. Most importantly, you do need to learn from your mistakes, or learn how not to repeat the things that have failed you in the past. If you can't get past these relatively simple hurdles and make the same mistake over and over and over again, then you really should just get a job where you are assigned to do only one thing instead - and maybe learn to be happy with that. |
