I really hope that this community lasts. For me, even though I passionately believe in my project, the biggest problem is that I can&amp;#x27;t motivate myself on a &lt;i&gt;day-to-day&lt;/i&gt; basis, so I end up getting distracted. But I do notice that when I discuss my project with friends and family, I can get rolling again. Going to a startup event gives that effect too, but lesser as I always feel out of place - I don&amp;#x27;t want external funding as huge as VC&amp;#x27;s, nor am I in a hurry to scale it asap and so on. It seems that &amp;quot;organic&amp;quot; growing is most suitable for my profile; yes I want to make a profit but I also want to make it a personal enrichment (my project is art&amp;#x2F;education based). But without peer &amp;quot;push&amp;quot;, the project can stretch for years at this rate! A community like this could be a game-changer :)</text></comment>
