Take some time to think about solutions, and your vision. If you go through all of the possibilities and you cannot figure out a game plan to get you to your goal, then it is time to change. And if you are spending all your efforts on keeping the doors open and have no time for your vision, then your startup is not working. It's okay to take a side job or pay for hire as long as you have time to work your plan. And it is okay to take a break, rebuild your resources, and then pick up your great idea later. This iteration of your project may be over, but if you still believe in your ideas, then they can still succeed. Failure is when you stop trying. Or, maybe better, failure is when you stop moving forward. You can learn from each iteration and make the next better whether you call the previous iteration a failure or not.
