I cry, on the inside, every morning when I think about how much further I need to go just to get to the first major milestone, yet I push on.
Take a day off. Force yourself to smile. Go run and build up a sweat.
Return and review your milestones. When you are in that head space you will just push the mouse around and get nothing done. Think about the 80/20 rule. 80% of your returns should come from 20% of your output. Find away to shift stuff around from the 20/80. It won’t be instant, but if you can stand back for a bit then lean back in you will have a different perspective on things.
been trying to launch a mobileapp, it has taken me 12 months and i am in a perpetual beta mode. i cry at least 3 times a week. hang in there. it’s part of running a startup.

Good Luck…
It’s worse than you think.
It will probably take 2-10x the work you’re considering to get there.
Only a mother could love this guy 😀
I can relate to you brother (or sister)! The mountains seems imaginably large and there’s not much oxygen in the air.
That’s what we must take a Lean Startup approach – what is the minimal thing that can be done to test the riskiest hypothesis.
The only worse thing about taking a long time getting to the first milestone is getting there and no-one cares!
Read “The Startup Owner’s Manual” by Steve Blank and Bob Dorf ASAP (if you haven’t already.
All the best!
one major caveat with lean startup is that it is a team sport
How far is it exactly? My ideal milestones are usually a 4-6 weeks worth of work.
