Seriously, sometimes I get so angry with myself, for my lack of motivation.
In a nutshell, heres my story.
A year ago I left a (relatively) poor paying corporate job. My severance pay was enough to live on for two years. In that year I started my own company providing a service. I gave it away free to start with, building a good list of references.... lots of Fortune 500s.
But here I am a year later, the service is established and have a great "client" list, but I havent managed to sell one.
I feel like a complete failure. I know this idea has the potential to be great, but for some reason theres a disconnect.
The problem is the more I try and fail, the more I feel a failure, and the harder it is to try.
