im literally in tears right now 🥹
this was the dream... the gold standard... the magical number that i imagined would set everything right
just hit $10k mrr after 4+ years of indiehacking
all started from being inspired by @levelsio posts to building my first ever product in 2021
from posting my first internet dollar screenshots (marketing :p) to trying all the shady stuff... took mammoth of an effort
from days of no sleep to months of no shipping at all... this was a lot of emotions
when someone used to ask me what i wanted to do 2022 me would proudly say i want to build a bootstrapped saas product and grow it to $5k mrr
i went through different ideas, one week builds, producthunt launches and this was the one that finally stuck
lol obviously this doesnt feel enough anymore coz ai costs and churn but man do i see a path now
shoutout to @jackfriks@marclou@_MaxBlade@tibo_maker@d4m1n@saguppa@pramodk73 for having the impact you guys had in unimaginable ways... might not realise what putting your journey out does to minds
wouldnt be possible a tiny bit without @Pushpit07
grateful. see you at $20k 🫡
I think the fastest way to stand out is to just give people your undivided attention. It’s shockingly rare. Put the phone away. Stop looking around the room. Don't prepare your response while they're talking. Just listen. People open up if they feel like they’re actually being heard. It sparks opportunities you never could have imagined.
