Making $1K/month with solo startups is already top 0.1%

You have no idea how fucking amazing this is. 90% of people don’t act on their ideas. And for the few who do, 90% give up too early. Making $1K/month with little startups built solo is already top 0.1%. The problem is social media only showing you the top 0.1% (the guys making $100K/month) of the top 0.1% (you). Now, people see my tweets because I’ve grown a little audience. But it took me two years to make $1. Two fucking years of complete void. No support from anyone, no traction, nothing but shit feelings crippling every day. “I’m useless”. I pushed through. Hell, I even gave up in 2021 and got a job for a while. But I kept building and eventually everything flipped. Every now and then, I think about the first 5/6 years of entrepreneurship void and I’m filled with bliss because none of what happened recently could have been possible without the pain and failures. If you’re building, you’re fucking awesome. And don’t give up, because it’s all worth it in the end.

    And btw your “little” side projects making $1k/month is an asset worth $35,000. That’s one entire year of salary for a person. That’s 2,000 hours spent at the office you’ve avoid
