For almost 10 years we have been building our company. We had a dynamic start (reached the 7 figures fairly quickly). But after a failed merge, we fell back (pretty much) in revenue.

But we kept building and working hard to maintain our name and trust for clients.
This consistent and hard work paid off. At the end of the year we achieved the 7 figures again, and we have a good team of people working for us!

Found out that this way of doing business falls under the term bootstrapping. We always invested our own money and time, never borrowed money or approached an investor, even when shit hit the fan.

This isn't really fastlane, or is it? Now that we are getting bigger again, we are becoming more interesting for acquisitions, so there is an exit strategy.

what do you think...is a boodstrap business fastlane??
