7 Months Without a Job, Building My Own Path đ(I just want to vent so I will not Promote)
Itâs been 7 months since I left employment, determined to crack something of my own. The first 3 months were about explorationâmultiple ideas, countless iterations, and a lot of soul-searching. Then, I met my co-founders, and my tool started taking shape in November. Fast forward to today, and itâs been a month since our launch. Weâre working relentlessly, pushing boundaries every day. But letâs talk about the other side of the journeyâthe part people donât usually share: đ The demotivation when things donât move as fast as you hoped. đ° The financial pressure of running a startup without a stable income. đĄ The family expectationsâ"Why not just go back to a job?"âł The lack of clarityâhow long will this take? Will it even work? đź The temptation to go back to employment when the struggle gets overwhelming. No weekends. No leaves. No social life. Just the hope that one day, this will all be worth it. To anyone thinking of starting upâthink 100 times before you dive in.Itâs not easy. Itâs not glamorous. And 99% of startups fail. But for those who choose this pathâwho fight through uncertainty, self-doubt, and the urge to quitâitâs the hope of building something meaningful that keeps us going. If you're on this journey too, letâs connect and share our learnings. This road is tough, but we keep moving. One step at a time.1
