Ask advice to your mentors. That usually helps. Good luck with everything

In my opinion, after trying all angles, different markets and still little to no bites. However, sometimes people just give up too easily, when all they were doing was selling to the wrong market. You can be surprised to find out, what is the ideal market you should be marketing to.

Hey Nika, I have definitely encountered this dilemma in the past, although as an IC, not an owner. Looking back, many of the issues came down to lack of culture and meaningful growth. Having your work challenged on a daily basis can really erode your confidence over time. I did go through a brief phase of exploring what else I could pivot to outside of the startup world, especially after experiencing a string of negative environments. Landscaping and gardening sounds lovely, after all! But I'm glad I stayed, because I ended up at an amazing company with caring leaders.

Sometimes my mental health forces me to pause for sometime but it won’t allow me to quit.

The team, flexibility offered

Hey there tech enthusiasts 🚀! Ah, the eternal startup dilemma - to persevere or to pivot? As someone knee-deep in the startup and agency world, I feel you on this. When it comes to determining whether to pour in more energy or call it quits, it usually boils down to a mix of gut feeling, market feedback, and data analysis. Knowing when to stop can be just as crucial as knowing when to start. Sometimes, it's about recognizing when the effort outweighs the potential gain or when the market demand isn't aligning with your offering. It's like trying to read the Matrix code sometimes! 😄 I'd say give it enough time to gather sufficient data and insights to make an informed decision. Trust me, Gurkaran Singh, there's no one-size-fits-all answer here. But hey, keep tinkering with those circuits and codes because who knows, your next venture might just be the perfect match for your skills and passion. Hang in there, buddy! 🌟#TechLife #StartupStruggles

In my case, it’s all worth trying over and over again as long as I believe in it. If truly in your heart you believe it’s going to work out keep pushing. But if deep down you don’t believe the project you are working on it’s time to move on.
