Hey!
First of all, I sincerely apologize for any mistake in my grammar. English wasn't the language I was raised with.
This is going to be a bit about my life, and a bit of just taking something off my chest.
2 years ago was the start of my journey in this little world, where I had an idea for a (physical) product. I spent my time designing it myself using a CAD software, while contacting businesses for the various needs of the product (PCB's, 3D printers owners).
After 3 months of research and development, I gave up on this project (there was also something in my life that forced me to drop everything I was doing at the moment for the next six months).
Somewhere here I first found TMF & Unscripted (truly great books). These two shifted my mindset and my perception. I thank MJ for the great value.
9 months ago I had an idea for a software. I had extensive programming knowledge so I could start developing it right from the beginning (props to all the guys and girls here that learn programming for a product!).
As I was developing it, I had a lot of times where I had to discard parts of the project (parts of the code) as I thought of a better way to do it. Although it was a bit discouraging to "dump" the code I worked hard for, I kept working on it.
As the time progressed, I realized my job was taking most of my time so I started waking up eariler and eariler so I could develop in the mornings (earliest I've ever woke was 04:00).
Now, after 9 months of developing the core of the project (the product still need a pretty complex website) and after the time I completely changed the approach to the solution (which forced me to rewrite new code), I'm starting to think that I'm incompetent for this project. I've got to a point where I feel like I can't proceed; I've got to a problem which I think I cannot solve.
I'll be honest, I've been a bit depressed for the last couple of days because of it. I don't feel that these 9 months was a waste of time at all, I advanced my programming skills a lot. But it's a bit depressing to abandon a 9 month project. For these 9 month this project was everything I thought about. I was always excited to get back home so I could continue work on it.
I think it makes me sad because I always want to progress and evolve toward my end goal which is trading my money for my time (and an Alfa Romeo 4C), and now I'm afraid that I wont be able to progress.
I needed to get this off my chest. Thank you everyone who read through.
Also the people here and the goals you are achieving are amazing.
