Reality check: Curll, if you can't fix your cash-flow problem in 30 days, then you already know the experiment requires a strategic pivot.
It doesn't help to question that.
It will have an emotional impact for you but fighting facts will not help you. Deep breath and change the perspective to see how you need to pivot. Don't narrow possibilitites. On the contrary, expand them. You might feel blind or stuck for a little but do some Customer Development (essentially listening) to get inspired again.
You need the cash-flow problem fixed and is better if you can fix it by yourself delivering direct value (AKA, your paying clients).
Even if you have to do something else (diversification) and everybody tells you that you should focus, if it's not working then is not working (AKA pivot needed).
Remember that you can always do the self-angel strategy (AKA bootstrap) and do that project as secondary thing instead of primary. Might not be so exciting but it will protect you (and reality around you is asking for it).
Do not surrender to peer pressure on cheap advice (perhaps including this one). Stay questioning and trust your subconscious intuition and discern.
What would you say to you if you were to advice your son on this?
