Do you have strengths in being able to pick up a concept/idea and be able to implement it at least to a functional prototype level?

If so, maybe you need to find someone who needs solutions built for them. Or to collaborate with them leading your progressions into a longer form solution!

Most importantly, don't measure your success against anyone but yourself, yesterday.

Yea I think I am usually able to make a functional prototype, just creating something that's actually all the way finished and great is a challenge.

Might be a good idea to find someone to help make things into a longer form solution, but I'm fairly introverted/shy, so that's always a challenge, but good advice!

I agree, but it's hard sometimes, you know? I for some reason can't help but compare, even though it does no good.

Thanks for the advice :D
