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

Hard decisions at the start of the week. 🫠 A few years ago, the hard thing for me was "to start". Today, it is "to stop". What makes you stop? (besides bankruptcy and running your funds... hh) What amount of time is needed to know if it makes sense to try to run that business? *God, give me a sign. 😃

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.

@busmark_w_nika I did, actually it was not my own project. I was working as a Project Manager. And there came a time when I no longer believed in what I was doing. I decided to quit because my lack of trust or disbelief could have affected the project A LOT and I could become the reason it sank. However, it's still operating and actually very well, we are still on very good terms with the founder and I am happy I let someone else with more passion for that project take over my place.
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
