Really decide what you'd like to get out of each endeavor, and once you've gotten that I think it should be OK to consider the project a success. On the other hand, some projects are inevitably not going to be a huge success so I think we have to use our best judgement when it may be time to move on in order to avoid "beating a dead horse". <br /><br />That being said, I don't think we should be afraid to let a project go if it just isn't working out. We can always come back to them later if we feel that they're worth revisiting at a later time. I don't think there is a right answer of when it is time to give up a project, but having a clear goal for the project will certainly aid in making that decision.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325462635163945705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528249271833876463.post-13329793124881730152012-11-02T04:43:31.334-04:002012-11-02T04:43:31.334-04:00"It's easy to just ask your close friends..."It's easy to just ask your close friends to do something but the reality is that they may not always be the best people for the job."<br /><br />This is a crucial point, as much as it sucks sometimes, it's important to separate your friendships from personal relationships unless your friend is truly in the same headspace as you.<br /><br />My personal projects are to start teaching guitar and to keep my current project afloat. One of my bigger obstacles in previous projects has been knowing when it either the project or my time in it was fully followed through to it's fullest extent. Is it better to end at something at its peek or to see it through until you're beating a dead horse?Colin Poultonhttp://www.www.comnoreply@blogger.com
