It strikes me that they did enter a rather tricky and competitive market though. Perhaps we'd look at it differently if they hadn't already had a home-run with Skype? I don't really know.

I see that they changed their model last October. I actually signed up a while ago but never used it because it took such a long time to get the app. Why isn't Joost a success?

It’s not about delivering one great blast. It’s about standing up, over and over again, even when you feel like there’s nothing left. It’s a battle of attrition, and few recognize this when they sign-up." Thanks for this! It's nice to know we're not alone. :) Great post. "Being an entrepreneur is like this.

I guess all of us have been there from time to time and it is hard and I am realizing more and more how life truly is difficult. Thanks for the words of wisdom and at least for giving me a better outlook on things. Much appreciated. This is great advice and I can relate to it so well on a personal level.

You can plan your way into anything. In addition, your state of mind is all you have. Instead of quitting, take a break, have some fun, let the project rot for a while, when you come back, everything will seem simpler, questions will have answers and you will be back on track. Point is: Be happy :P, keep planning, and just do Nice artice,
