I guess it depends on what you're looking for out of all this. If you're just trying to create a product so that you can offload it down the line then maybe you should question your initial intentions, there are other ways of making money after all.

If on the other hand you want to change society or improve the lives of people and you have recognised a way of doing so then don't give up. Treat your choiec as a journey or adventure. You're going to have set backs and failures and spend many nights thinking about quitting but you will overcome them and the struggles will make you a better person in tthe long run.

Just because you don't get to the summit of everest doesn't mean you haven't achieved anything and it doesn't mean you haven't improved as an individual and it doesn't mean the next time you try to climb you'll fail again either.

Edit: Also, update your blog, its long overdue!

Thanks for this. I've noticed I'm a very status driven individual and consequently I find the journey to be often a hard thing to appreciate. I also know I'm always extremely discontented by what I have and I question whether I will ever find that holy grail of success I'm looking for where I will stop worrying about all of this and just accept I made it.

I think the only answer is to force myself to focus more on my journey. Try to enjoy the highs and lows as they come. My friend has rather good philosophy on this where he defines his personal success by the action he takes and not by the amount of money he makes or some other external measurement he doesn't have total control over.

Plus I'll be updating the blog very soon!

I think you have to hang in there if this is what you really want. Perseverance is a key factor and from what I see you have it( you did it for 6 years ). Money is a measurement of success (it shows that you have made something people want and are willing to pay for), it is not the only measurement, your service could be free and still be valuable to others.

All the best.
