2.5 months ago: $460K debt. 99% depressed.
Today: $20K MRR.
I didn't get lucky. I got desperate.
I stared at my runway. Panic attacks were my daily routine. I couldn't stand another "tech layoff" headline.
My morale was at its lowest. Felt like every hour this year was pain.
Still. I was unable to shake the dread that maybe, just maybe. I never had what it takes to land a job anymore.
I took a step back. Looked at the fire I was standing in. Is it the way I'm contorting myself just to fit in? What if the pain isn't a signal to quit? But a sign it's time to go all-in?
So with 1% battery left, I stopped trying to fit in. I bet on myself. I went from saving money on shoes to $20K MRR in 10 weeks.
Was I ready? No. Did I wait for the perfect market conditions? Hell no.
I hit this damn wall anyway and went through it.
The only thing stopping you? This "employee mindset" that waits for permission. No one is coming to save you.
Scared? Good. Use it.
Unstoppable.
