You became a founder.
You quit the 9-to-5. You raised a little money. Everyone called you "brave" over drinks. You spent your nights building and your days pitching "the future," convinced that the next launch would change your life forever.
Then a year passes.
Flatline traction. $0 salary. Your co-founder quit via Slack. Your girlfriend left for someone with a 401k and a "stable" future. Your friends are posting house keys while you’re staring at a bowl of ramen, rehearsing the same tired lies to your parents about why the "big break" is just around the corner.
Is this the end? You start wondering if you made a mistake.
No. You keep telling yourself every founders went through this at some points. But you don’t stop.
Logic says quit. Your ego says run. But there’s a sickness in you that won't let go. You’d rather fail at this than succeed at anything else. You tell yourself it’s just one more launch, one more pivot, one more "yes."
You’re not delusional; you’re committed.
You’ll miss this.
Not the stress, but the electricity. The raw doubt that forced you to grow. The quiet fire of building while the world slept. The pure, unrefined dopamine of that very first user.
These aren't just "hard years", they are the years that forge you. One day, when the bank account is full but the mystery is gone, you’ll find yourself wishing you could feel this hungry again.
They all do.

@RoyalYorkPM Keeping great tenants is the name of the game. There are a number of things that go into retention of those tenants but you nailed one of them!
I would say responsiveness is key as well. Being able to help people when they need the help.
Going above and beyond as a policy.
