What will you do differently in 2016 to make it happen?

Stop looking for productivity &#x27;techniques&#x27; that others have found to work for them and just do the best thing I can think of now to get something done.<p>Momentum tends to work better than any one &#x27;technique&#x27;.

I didn&#x27;t feel the user interface was ready. Also, as the system is a database at heart it has to be absolutely rock solid.<p>Planning to launch on the 5th of Feb, which is the date (4 years) since I wrecked my knee and started working on this project to keep my mind busy.

Launched earlier this year with a $500 budget, now making ~1.2k revenue per month trying to grow it further. Still need to get a job though, $200&#x2F;mo is not much fun for food in Seattle.

Too many hours devoted to employer. I already have something bootstrapped active (movinggauteng.co.za), but stagnating a bit. Wanted to launch a small December idea to take my mind off my 2 jobs. This year I&#x27;m aiming to work no more than 48 hours a week for employer, start making money on bootstrapped product, and enjoy my life more.

I didn&#x27;t launch sooner as I was focused on too many projects. Finally buckled it down and drove my project to completion. Official launch will occur in a week or two: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rallycoding.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rallycoding.com&#x2F;</a>

Nothing! Launched and now have profit! Going Lean and doing customer dev before product dev was a huge factor for success.

Nothing, I launched, but I need to refine it and make it look better: bestfoodnearme.com

Concern about if what I built was too specific to me and if others would even use it.

Nothing. It launched. Then the co-founder quit and took it down.<p>It&#x27;s coming back soon though.

I was consumed with a product I launched in 2014 :)

I was too lazy &#x2F; busy to finish it.
