There are days when starting a business isn't about "building in public," it's just about holding on mentally.
You haven't sold anything. You've tried 100 things. You refresh your stats like a drug addict and still: zero.
Not even a shred of traction. Just doubt, and that voice in your head:
"Are you sure you're cut out for this?"
And then there are family meals.
"So, is it taking off?"
"Are you making a living from this?"
"Don't you want to go back to a real company?"
You smile. You say, "Yes, yes, it's progressing." But inside, you just want to scream into a pillow.
It's not that you don't have any ideas. You have too many.
You worked. You got active. But the results, they don't care.
Anyway. Not a post to complain. Just to say to those who are going through this: you are not alone.
It's not always glorious, it's often hard. But we keep going.

Because deep down, we know why we're doing it.
