What determines whether it makes sense to put energy into the business or quit?

You never know if the tipping point is right around the corner if you quit 😏 # fomo is real

"It's only when you exit doors, that you can enter new doors"

Lol ‘god give me a sign’ To answer you question for me it’s validation. If you’re pushing and you don’t have users or customers and you’ve been going at it for a while, pivot, try changing things a little. And keep doing that. If that doesn’t work then maybe a strong pivot into something else. There are several people who literally went broke before they succeeded. Ed Mylett, Sylvester Stallone to name just 2

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

interest

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

Awhhh Nika, I feel your pain. 🥲I've been there many times in many different situations. I've made a decision to quit only to change my mind the next day, I've stopped projects only to restart them after taking a break, I've had great business ideas which I've abandoned... Your mind can go 100 miles an hour taking sharp turns and u-turns. The only way to know which thoughts to entertain and which way to go is to stop and reassess everything. Ask yourself these three questions: 1. Why am I doing what I'm doing? (is it for money, real passion, necessity etc) 2. What will happen if I quit? ( real impact on your and other people's life wheter it's positive or negative) 3. What other options do I have? ( how important is this to you and your future success? Do you have better options ? ). Dig deep into your soul and you'll get your answer! Sending you lots of hugs and support 🤗

First is interest for me, if the motivation and passion keeps diminishing and also the revenue, it determines too

Hi @busmark_w_nika Nika, in my opinion its all about clarity. If you have clarity on the financial and functional goals and keep putting work on it then the business will eventually grow and if its growing then quitting thought will never come.. hope this make sense to you ( :

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

The team, flexibility offered

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.

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.

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.
