When I started, I thought the hardest part would be finding clients or making money. I was wrong. The hardest part has been doing this alone.
I don’t have a co-founder. No team to bounce ideas off. No investors or advisors. Just me, pushing through every problem, every decision, every setback.
Friends don’t really get it. Family supports me, but they don’t *really* know what it’s like to be up at 2 AM stressing over a late payment or wondering if I made the right call.
I love building. I’m proud of what I’ve done so far. But some days, I miss having someone in the trenches with me.
If you’ve been through this how do you deal with it? Do you build a network? Join a mastermind? Or do you just get used to the quiet?
Would love to hear how others handle the solo grind.
