Got a question to ask....

[hip10]

Hi,
I am reading the fastlane book (halfway done), and it is indeed very inspiring. I am still on the slowlane currently...the good news is that I have the resources and the capability to do internet and mobile apps...but what I found out is that it is not easy to have something that generates revenue.
Along the way of finding my fastlane, I am burning time, and at the same time, I got tonnes of bills to pay along the way (got a family to feed). I am taking projects to get income (slowlane way of trading time for money), but its just so difficult to do projects for others and try to get a product working at the same time...
Are anyone out there in a similar situation that I am? What are the ways around it? I have tried raising funding, but it aint easy too, and I believe it is better that the concept actually has some revenue before taking to the VCs...but in order to do that, you need to execute the concept, which takes up time...
