Okay you had an idea for a project, you put your heart and soul into it and maybe even substantial time and it ran you into the ground. What now give up? Before you say yes or no stop. What did you learn from the experience? Yes Yes I know nobody supported it? But why? Did the concept seem favorable to them? Did you correctly provide a way for your audience, customers, or target group to give you the input(payments, following, or feedback) you needed to know you were on the right track? Don't be afraid of failure! Wait a minute, don't go away I didn't say acccept failure? Interpret it? Failure is valuable! The Greatest minds in history have used it as a favorable tool.
Edison when he was asked about his failures at the time after inventing the light bulb stated "I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." Alexander Graham Bell could have ended his experiments on voice transmission over wires when was told he had neither the funding or a working model to demonstrate his idea but he persevered and found that one reed suspended in a liquid would provide the necessary transmission medium and his assistant came when he heard him over the device they were working on "Mr Watson — Come here —I want to see you." Bottom line once you are sure your idea will work and it demonstrates its capabilities clearly stick with it. What happens if you don't? Someone will eventually find your idea, make it work, and they'll grow rich while you spend the rest of your life working at some job you hate!
