I've made dozens of mistakes building my startup. Each one taught me something valuable. You know what taught me nothing? The days I spent overthinking and not shipping.
Most startup advice is written for VC-backed companies "Build a monopoly" "Cross the chasm" "Hypergrowth" 🚀 Beautiful concepts. Wrong context for bootstrappers. Building sustainable != building a unicorn
PSA: GrowthMentor is a cheat code for marketing/growth. Hundreds of highly experienced mentors volunteer time for 1:1 calls. I booked 4 free sessions so far; each one was gold. No upsell, pure value. The only downside: $99/mo & billed quarterly. If you ever feel stuck, Google…
Story of my startup so far: 2023: i gonna be multi-millionaires 🤩 2024: wow this is hard… staying hopeful 🤞 2025: feels hopeless—but a job sounds worse 😭 Now: finally getting some momentum
First week of 2-10-1 challenge. I DID IT! Every single day.

🚀 Odds of launching something people care about: 0–10% 💰 Odds it makes enough to cover rent: 0–5% 🤝 Odds it grows enough to hire help: 0–1% 💸 Odds you sell it someday: 0–0.5% And still, we build.

⚡️One of the most important things I found in the open-source ranking twitter/the-algorithm👇 The first 30 minutes after you post can make or break your tweet. It tracks engagement in real time with exponential decay -> meaning a like 30 mins after posting is worth way more…
There’s no marketing team for your ideas. No sales rep for your offers. No PR agent for your work. You are the whole department. Promote yourself — shamelessly.
