What makes you push through when “no one cares”?

Question

I've been on the founder journey for nearly 2 years now, and I think I was widely unprepared to being the "underdog".I've progressively built muscle around that, with a few mental frameworks and I was wondering what you did?Mine here: https://github.com/getlago/lago/wiki/About-pushing-through-when-%C2%AB-no-one-cares-%C2%BBI guess it's different for each person. We keep sharing "tactics" but I think at an early stage, "managing one's emotions" is 80% of the game.

I doubt if there is a process for steeling yourself to the indifference of others. To my mind, you either have a compulsion, a preexisting urge that allows you to be indifferent to outside influence, or else you seek out a pursuit that people do care about. Coming to appreciate the deeper logic behind a reflexive behavior is an important part of being able to see the impulse through despite the indifference of others.

Being bootstrapped, I found it to be an exercise in pure patience - the business can only die if I shut it down/get bored of it.That and building a practice of shipping something, anything, within a two hour slot every morning.
