Problem[edit]

You did everything right. You had some big events and a nice time in your shiny hackerspace. But after some time the enthusiasm goes away and your projects are stagnating.

Implementation[edit]

Peak enthusiasm at a hackerspace has the form of a sine curve with a cycle duration of four years. Keep the hackerspace running, even if the feel-good-factor is temporarily on holidays. Chances are your space will be awesome again in two years. Don’t give up! Maybe an exciting new member will knock on your door tomorrow.
