To Pivot or Not to Pivot?

[briighter]

Hello enlightened entrepreneurs,

I am having a problem. I do not know when I should pivot or keep going with the business. Shutting down is not an option at this point because I don't want to give up since I know this will be a long and hard journey to bring value to people.

I have begun to develop an online marketplace and have only been able to put a single product on there (a friends product) and am currently emailing back and forth another person who could potentially be a seller on my website. I am trying all types of ways to entice people with products to begin selling on my website with little luck. I also don't want to pivot too early and give up on the opportunity of getting this client.

I have created the value and am in the 'desert of desertion'. I have received some feedback but nothing solid enough.

My question is what experiences have you had surrounding pivots? Good or bad. When do you know you should pivot?
