Hello everyone,
Feels good to be back here.
I wanted to post here to share a bit of my story and the struggles I am facing now, hoping someone can undestand me as I have no entrepreneur friends.
I built a SAAS company (not entirely automated) on my own (coding, marketing, design, everything..). This is my first real business. Scaled it up from $90 August to $1000 MRR in September with 90% profit margin.
My next milestone is $9000 MRR by the end of October. I believe the market is big enough to grow to $40K MRR by next year (March '18)
The market is good, the current growth of my business is good. But there's a slight problem...
I have no one to confide to, or talk about the frustrations I have with clients. Sometimes I can't seem to be patient enough and start losing clients. I get angry. I get tons of people trying my product for a few days, and ask for a cancelation but my product has given them results... Sometimes people are really disrespectful too.
I take it far too personally and it hurts my stomach sometimes. I'm raw and I'm scared of being stuck at $1000 MRR. Scared of failure and having to go back to a job.
It's like there's a transformation that is needed right now. But I can't seem to make the mental switch.
I went from employee to entrepreneur. Then from $0 entrepreneur to $1000/mo entrepreneur. Now I have the beginning of something. But my feelings are holding me back right now.
I know that "it's nothing personal, it's always business".
I know there's no way for me to get to 10K-40K-100K MRR in my current state.
I wish I was a colder business man and it wouldn't hurt me so much to lose clients after their free trials. I wish I was stronger mentally.
I feel a lot of pressure on my shoulders, and I am the only one on the ship. The employer and the employee. I am a solopreneur.
Does anyone know what I mean or have gone through what I'm going through ?
Thank you.
