Starting a project in which you have an interest (or should I say the forbidden word “passion”) in it is always a beautiful feeling

Starting a project that aligns with your interests or passions is always exciting. Whether it’s a travel blog, a minimalist blog, or a project in a different niche, the initial enthusiasm and energy can be contagious.

However, it’s too common for many projects to lose momentum and eventually fizzle out, resulting in billions of abandoned websites with just a few articles and a passionate “about” section.

We’ve all been there. But there is a way to recognize when the “Desert Mile” is over, and you can start to see some reward or recognition for your efforts.

The Desert Mile is the stage in any project when you’re putting in a lot of time and effort, but it seems like no one cares

You’re not getting any feedback or financial reward, and it can be disheartening to think that all your hard work is going unrecognized. But when the lines representing your passion and motivation (which tends to decrease over time) intersect with the line representing the interest and feedback you receive from others (which tends to increase over time), this is the turning point.

The Desert Mile can be compared to a long, dry stretch of road in a desert, where it feels like you’re making no progress and there is no end in sight. It can be a lonely and challenging place to be, and it’s easy to lose motivation and give up. However, the key is to keep pushing through and persevere, even when no one cares.

The Desert Mile is a natural part of any project or pursuit, and it’s essential to recognize that it’s a temporary phase

Eventually, the lines representing your passion and motivation (which tend to decrease over time) will intersect with the line representing the interest and feedback you receive from others (which tends to increase over time). This intersection is the turning point, and it’s the moment when you finally get some reward or recognition for your efforts. This can help boost your motivation and passion for the project.

It’s when you finally get some reward or recognition for your efforts, whether it’s a small amount of money or just a heartfelt thank you.

This is the signal that can help to boost your motivation and passion for the project once again.

So don’t give up on your dreams and passions, even if you’re in the middle of the Desert Mile. Keep pushing through; eventually, you’ll see the fruits of your labor.
