ok, honestposting time Since I sold Talknotes for $200k last year, I have been pretty miserable My bet was to lock in for a year and double down. And it failed. I've made almost no progress toward my goals since then It was after 2 years of grinding non-stop, from learning to code, up to the $200k cash exit. When I sold, I was already burned out, and I didn't take time to cool off cause there was 2 other apps I wanted to grow. But neither really went anywhere (reasons in first comment) In October, I started getting super depressed cause I was not growing a biz anymore, and that drove me crazy. Started to have really dark thoughts. Even started to get white hairs (I'm 28!!). Gym didn't help. I also shipped less, cause I think I became scared of failing and wasting more time I still got some sales ($1,300 MRR from the B2B app + its $25k exit in April + other projects), but nowhere near what I aimed for. I feel like every hour not spent working is wasted, cause there will be more and more competition + less opportunities cause of AI (total bullshit btw, I know it's not true, but I always think of the worst, so that's still how I feel) When I try taking time off, I want to go back to work immediately. And it sucks, cause I can't make good decisions with the head "in" the business. Also lots of instances where there are so many things I can do that I end up doing nothing (analysis paralysis) I'm lucky cause my GF is super understanding with how much I work, otherwise it would have cost my relationship too Tbh I don't mind not being happy in the present if I know I'm moving toward my goals (cause once I'm rich then I can chill down, focus on relationship, family etc). But right now I have neither I don't post much about all that cause I don't like whining. But I think it's also important to show the reality, and it's not always happy, cause ppl only post the best part on social media So, yeah monk mode + solopreneur is amazing to get shit done fast. But if you don't have a plan or if it fails, you get double the slap Will try to force myself to take vacations soon, my last day off was in December. Hopefully, this will help me think.
