I have a meeting tomorrow with my client on the status of our current project. It is long overdue for many reasons, luckily few of them are actually my fault. However, I suspect they are running short on patience and cash, and I'm trying to figure out how to convince them they should see it through to the end.

In short, there was an issue with my initial business partner. He left the picture, and I had to start over. Then there was a major feature shift from the client, and I had to start over again.

We've got a full head of steam now, and phase one is in testing and will soon be in parallel. There's a huge phase 2 coming up though, and perhaps I've painted myself into a corner by suggesting that Phase 1 could exist freestanding. They may decide to cut their losses and go with Phase 1 only.
Anyway, I'm looking for some sympathetic opinions as to ways I can tell them they should stick it out to the end. When the full project is complete, we hope to sell it to other folks in the same industry. I don't think I can do that with just Phase 1 deliverables.
Not a lot of detail, I realize, but as I'm completing my status report and graphs I'm hoping to get a few ideas as to how to let them know that things are now moving and that they'll be well-served by seeing it through (a fact which I sincerely believe, despite the fact that having them lay me off would be my own, considerable, problem).
Anyway, I welcome suggestions, including those that might point to a better forum to ask these questions.
Thanks
