The Maker's Trap
I can't make what I want to make because I don't know how to do everything involved
If I make something valuable then someone will take it and make money without me
Honestly, I never finish what I begin because when it gets hard I loose motivation
Making things as a fun hobby, but it will never pay the bills
I don't have the resources I need
I'm probably delusional
Why even start?
