Nobody gives af about you.
Today I am stressed about my startup, slowing down, and not have a secure job.
Tomorrow, Ill be stressed about the same things with nobody to help because nobody cares about you. Not REALLY.
You need to push your own rock up the mountain.
277 days I had an idea for a startup.
Today:
1. The product is built
2. Have users using it
3. Grabbed VC attention
Why is still overdue? Cuz the job ain’t done.
Just cold called 50 schools today.
How many asked to just email them?
100 fucking %.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to close a school? If not, I might have to pivot the end user.
I have a cofounder who’s is working full time and only has 4 hours in the week and 12 hours in the weekend to work on the startup.
Any advice of how I should move forward? The boot?
I went to sleep last night stressing that my startup was not moving fast enough.
Today I decided to do the 2000s tactic of sales and call every school I knew.
I now have a potential meeting with one the best schools in the UK. Crazy.
The self pressure of not wanting to waste time and find a job, whilst still wanting to build something is the worse feeling
