<p><pre><code> - But it won’t be because of the competition
</code></pre>
Pretty sure competition can be the reason for all the others.<p>Don't have an audience? Your competitor has a better product.<p>Running out of cash? Your competitor is hogging up all the audience, preventing you from making money.<p>Getting frustrated? Your competitor stops you from being successful, which causes frustration.<p>Going through emotional rollercoaster? Your competitor keeping kicking you down every time you start succeeding.<p>Getting excited about something else? Once again, blame the competitor, who is stopping you from being excited about your current project
Three I don't understand:<p><pre><code> - You’ll get frustrated
- The emotional rollercoaster will beat you
- You’ll get excited about something else

That's just crazy. I'd only ever stop because I need money. Even the most mundane startup should live in an idea space that takes years to fully explore.
