I will never use a enterprise google product unless they have customer support. The customer support team should have humans and not robots.

I started up twice. First was a e-commerce market place and the second one was into mobile app development. Both failed. I was running them for around 4 years. Now I am back to a full time Job. I never regretted my failures since I learnt a lot from them and now I am working on my 3rd side project hoping to succeed.

I am iOS developer and it has become a pretty tough market to crack. Can you share some more thoughts on the MAc App store. Is it worth investing in Mac app development?. Thanks.

Many people have commented that their revenue has dropped due to Ad blockers. Can you suggest any alternate business model for side projects other than ads

The publishers should stop supporting AMP collectively. I own a couple of websites and I have not enabled AMP in either of them.

The only thing in my mind everyday is to get out of my 9 to 5 job. This keeps motivating me. I have started a blog which teaches a programming language. I had a target of 2 blog posts per week. I have given up watching television totally and I work for 12 to 14 hours daily even on weekends. My urge to resign my job and start on my own keeps motivating me. Although I am not able to achieve my target of 2 blog posts a week, I am able to post 1 per week and I guess I will be able to post 2 per week with a little more dedication. One more thing that helped me is the pomodoro technique. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique. I would encourage you to start first. Whether its a youtube video video or a blog post stop making it perfect and publish it right now. Once its out in the hands of the public you will learn a lot from their feedback.
