A couple years ago, I wrote 5 things I had learned [0] going from side project to a full-time business. Might be worth a read?

Thanks ezekg! Your article brought up some great points - can relate to what you specifically mentioned under "Don't waste your time" and not allowing anyone to overpay you (which can be a trap for new founders). You seem like a genuinely great person to have a long chat with on your experiences. I hope you have a great day!


What changed since the blog post? Employees? Cofounder?


Nothing has changed! Just 2 more years of experience. I still agree with all of it.
