What do you feel is holding your startup back from achieving massive success and market-wide adoption?

Being far far away from any tech scene, i.e.: no networking.

  What about online communities? I'm sure you're not the only one on your situation. Although I'm close to a big tech scene (London), I can't be an active participant of offline meetings very often, so I resort to online communities: Business communities, Bootstrapping communities, Startup communities, etc Two examples: Bootstrapped.fm Hope it helps.

Marketing and communications, specifically impressions and publicising. Bootstraped budget doesn't go very far toward AdWords or Conference attendance.

  You can go pretty far with a boot strap budget. You just have to be zero'd in on your audience and be an expert in your content. If it's web based mine your Google Analytics and hit the spots that are finding you naturally.

My day job. If I leave I worry about excessive procrastination. Procrastination is good in small amounts. Finding a balance is something that always troubles me.
