Sometimes I feel like I just have so many ideas that I want to try, but in the end, nothing ever gets done. It seems like a lot of people on the internet, especially those that are trying to make a living off it, have the same problem.

Maybe it is because of the kind of person we all are. I’m sure many of you have realized it takes a different breed to want to make a living at something with pretty much no job security in a market that is arguably well over saturated.

The other possibility is that it is the nature of the internet. Lets face it, starting a new project on the internet costs almost nothing — especially when you already have things like servers and necessary software paid for. Plus, we are bombarded with news stories everyday of how Joe Shmoe came up with a simple idea, implemented it well, and is now a millionaire (or in Mark Zuckerberg’s case, the creator of Facebook, turning down a $1 billion dollar offer from Yahoo! in just a couple of years. Read the wiki.)

For me, I think it is a little bit of both. Where do you think you fit in?

So the moral of the story is don’t just keep going after new projects. If you have a great idea, write it down and put it aside. Finish what you have already started and make a goal of when you want to have it completed.

Who knows. Maybe your current project will make you the next Joe Shmoe. ;)
