Bang!
“It’s going to be ready tomorrow. It’s going to be huge. Massive.”
Your product is going to be on the market and you are going to finally make it come true. Success is finally here, at arm’s reach.

Decide when you should quit!
And multiply by 3. You know you won’t be quitting when things are suddenly taking off. (or so you would like to think).
