I've realized something about several of the entrepreneurial ventures I've been involved in, and in being honest with myself, I've noticed a pretty disturbing trend. I'm hoping those who have experienced with the same thing can offer some advice.
Looking back over projects, both past and present, a re-occuring cycle is painfully obvious to me:
1. High interest and excitement in the beginning followed by a flurry of productivity and doing.
2. This slowly begins to taper off until I'm full blown in the middle of the desert of desertion.
3. See little to no results, desert of desertion is breathing down my neck.
4. Completely lose interest in the project and sell/abandon it.
5. Find new project and start back over at #1.
It's pretty embarrassing to openly admit this, but I've tried to combat this myself and I'm just really having a hard time with it. Once I lose interest in a project, it's just so rediculously difficult to continue working on it and not look for something else that excites me.
Can anyone else who has dealt with this offer any advice?
Thanks.
