This is my dream.
I'll never back down on it.

The reasons I started entrepreneurship is my family.
Time is the only resource I can offer them.

Even at $0 MRR I wouldn't change my path.
I get to teach my daughter, learn from her, and enjoy those little things with my wife.

@iPritamX @VynseDev Happy birthday man !
"Unc" and "Sir" hits hard.
I have been called "Sir" at 22 years old while I was math a teacher.
Felt like aging 10 years in one second 😂

School system is fucked up.

Prove me wrong.

The only thing you learn is proving you can sit you ass 7h straight and shut the fuck up while the authority is speaking.

- zero real world skills
- zero compound effect on logic
- zero creative mindset

X algo rigth now feels like:
Small accounts am I alone here 😅

People romanticize "be your own boss."

The actual freedom isn't no boss.
It's:
- I pick the problem.
- I pick the stack.
- I pick the hours.

But it has a cost:
- I'm 100% accountable of my earnings
- Showing up is not an option

Harder, not easier.

Founders do you know what kind of DARK, like REAL DARK magic I need to use Reddit ?

I want to reach my first 100 users but the POWER OF BAN is strong in Reddit !

Counsel of MASTERS PLEASE give me your ANSWERS NOW !

Or I might become the new Vador of solo building !

I'm not selling a $500 mastermind.

I'm not running a $97 course.

I'm doing free 1:1 founder calls in my discord because I wish someone would have done them for me.

[Thomas Rayvol @ThomasRayvol]

The real upside of solo isn't "no boss."

It's: i can switch from a 3h deep work block to homeschooling and playing with my kid without asking anyone.

The cost: you have to make everything work alone.

[Thomas Rayvol @ThomasRayvol]

Where are the indie hackers girls ?
Mothers or builders or gamers ?!

Damn guys I wasn't imagining that my content is "men only" 😱

The body lags the trigger by 5-10 seconds.

Rage spike → HR catches up → it stays elevated way longer than the moment that caused it.

Most tilt isn't a fight.
It's the aggregation of past stress residue.

[Thomas Rayvol @ThomasRayvol]

Doing free founder calls inside Rayvol HQ this week.

mostly tactical:
outbound prospecting, stack choices, launch planning, pricing.
drop a 👋 in #general if you want a slot.
Link in bio.

[Thomas Rayvol @ThomasRayvol]

@buttonupd Yep it's a hard way but it's also the path to freedom !

[Thomas Rayvol @ThomasRayvol]

>convinced i'm 6 months from $10k MRR.

solo founder night:
> convinced i should crawl back to a 9-to-5.

same day. same product. same brain.

Entrepreneurship: choice or necessity?

For me? Necessity.

No family. No network. No safety net.

When you have nothing to fall back on, creating value isn't a career path.

It's survival.

You "moved on" from that last game 5 min ago.
Your nervous system didn't.
HR still 20 BPM above baseline.
Stress above 50%
That's the state you're about to queue into.

[Thomas Rayvol @ThomasRayvol]

@VynseDev @Skyzox You might be right to be honest !
I set up the one month free trial a while ago, but since then I saw the streamer chat talking only about the overlay, describing it as "peak content" which means value has been perceived instantly.
I'll probably change that before going on PH.

[Thomas Rayvol @ThomasRayvol]

@Eloise1041955 100% true 😂
The bad day are gruesome, bad sleep kid screaming and not seeing improvements on saas makes the downs real hard.
But it goes both ways, every little win feels way more rewarding than any previous job I had

You're solo building a SaaS, an app, anything ?

And you're tired of being the only voice in your own head ?

There's a small discord where we ship, market, debug, and sometimes just discuss with each other.

Rayvol HQ.
