We are facing something of the situation.

There is a problem in the product and we find ourselves questioning our ability, motivation and everything else.

Thanks for the post

My advice? Go out and find something really hard to do to give your business issues some context.

I'm a record-holding ultra-endurance cyclist and only came to the sport later in my business career. It was amazing to me how much more manageable the issues presented by business became after I'd accomplished (and failed a few times) at something super-hard.

Physical activity is great in this regard because it will have direct benefits in your day-to-day business activity - you will be more effective and a better frame of mind, and it has much less risk of distracting you. Whatever you take on as your challenge, make sure it won't ultimately distract you from the real problems you are trying to solve.

Anyways, my $0.02...

Shoot me an email (in profile) if it would be useful to bounce some ideas around about it.
