I'm about to quit the whole SaaS thing, and I don't want to

I've been pretty demotivated with the whole SaaS thing for a while now. I've spent months reading up, watching videos, and trying to build some kind of tool. The thing is, I never manage to finish any project I lose motivation, or I find a thousand problems that make me think it won't be worth it. Add to that that I've got a job and that I'm in Spain, where everything feels more uphill because of how hard it is to be self-employed (autónomo) and all that.

And that's why I'm making this post: because I'm on the verge of dropping it all, but something inside me doesn't want to. It wants to build something worthwhile, and to feel that I can make money from something I built myself, online.

So I'd love to ask those of you who've been at this for a while:

• How did you find the idea or problem that was actually worth building? Did it hit you all at once, or did it come from searching and searching? Was it a problem you had yourselves, or something with nothing to do with your own field?
• What did you do to actually finish and launch things, instead of abandoning them halfway like I do every time I lose motivation?
• Was there a moment that made you think "okay, this is worth it" and gave you the push to keep going? The first euro, the first user...?
