I quit my job over a year ago. Been bootstrapped on savings. I picked up a gig last year and only made $30K in 2019. Hoping my efforts pay off.

I'd be able to live with the failure knowing I took my best shot at being an entrepreneur. Opposed to living a somewhat comfortable life not trying at all. It's been a burning desire of mine. I truly fear regretting not doing this. If it fails, I am happy to try again. I am ok with making $20k per year for the rest of my life if it means every year I can wake up shooting my shot to build something useful to others. I…
Its always interesting to see that a lot of people see things different :)
Two things that drive product value & growth insanely: 1. Dogfooding your own product 2. A free-tier pricing that actually helps one-time users You nailed both of them. Congrats on the launch. Using it right away. :)
What is dogfooding?
