Re: Solopreneurship
#2Very relaxing read. Thank you.
I have just started a similar journey as well. I have passed my bar exam and became a qualified lawyer during the pandemic. To all minds that are sane, the logical thing would be to keep my high paying job and ride out the lockdown recession. Instead, I have left my job, took up a coding bootcamp for 4 months and became a tenant at a co-working space with my laptop, setting myself a 6-month goal to create something of my own - doesn't matter what it is, as long as I can create it. As throughout my life I have always questioned myself that I haven't created anything that is worth an ounce of meaning, but now I am slowing getting that rewarding feeling.
One thing I know from this journey though, is that not getting paid do make you feel down but at the same time I got my family with me and my health. So I am still pretty happy when I wake up in the morning and work, for, myself.

#3This is great. I definitely consider myself a solopreneur and hope to get back to being self-employed. The burnout after my first one took years to recover from… I probably wouldn’t have burned out if it was a web project instead of an iOS project

#4> One day I’m spending 10 hours at my desk writing blog posts for my daily blog schedule.
Going for quantity over quality I see.

Re: Solopreneurship
#7This is a great read. I find myself in a similar boat but always struggle with the title. Most of the people around me do not consider a person as a solopreneur unless they hire others.
Re: Solopreneurship
#8This sounds wonderful, but as a one man shop its missing something: customers.
I am solo at the moment but that still means I'm doing zoom meetings, trying to deliver features to a budget and a deadline, trying to keep on top of the books and cashflow and keeping my system up.
Customers aren't that different to having a boss. I do get the freedom to choose how things are done, but once your product ships you are no longer really free.
OK, still better than working as an employee, but it's still work.

Cool, but what opportinity can You grasp other than luck? For me, in my Life (low) luck based opportunity are to shun completely.
Re: Solopreneurship
#10I see this tendency of solo projects a lot in developers. My experience has been quite the opposite, I started to get traction as entrepreneur after accepting the idea that I needed a team. My business sells b2b so maybe it is different, but companies are tired of automated SaaS sales funnels focused on “features”, they want competent people to talk to about their problems that are never just technical ones. I think the Enterprise tech market is very underserved at the moment, but I find it hard to believe you can approach b2b solo.
