Hi
I’m in a position where I have quit my job and started studying to unlock time for a fastlane project but the problem is the lack of motivation to execute the idea I have.
When I was trapped with a 9-5 job I had more motivation then I have now, which is a pretty F*cking stupid problem to have. The cause for this could be that deep down I don’t know if my idea sucks or not and it could be a waste of time and energy to develop it.
The idea is to create a marketplace for a niche that I have experience from. The problem is that there is competition and to be able to beat the competition, or at least end up on the same level as they are at now I will have to work my a$$ off at least half a year (programming the site). And then I will need to do the marketing for it and so on. I’m guessing I won’t sell anything for at least a year.
So my question to you is when do you know you have an idea that is worth walking in the desert of desertion for?
I mean shit, I have even bought the domain for the marketplace.. Just don’t get any motivation when I think about the shitload of work that will be needed to execute this business. Any tips for that?
