"After a while, however, the feeling disappears. Seeing your daily revenue go from $1000 to $2000 starts to mean nothing. It's all just business. That's no longer where the excitement is."
Not true at all. It never gets old watching the average daily profit rise.
- SwellJoe 17y agoFolks are different. I find I have to make myself care about those numbers. I tend to fall into a comfort zone, where my brain has decided, "Yes, we have enough money coming in to keep us in food and houses, so we're OK. Think about more important things, now." I've made myself stop dealing directly with our technology lately, and begun to focus more on the money side of things. I've only recently started doing regular bookkeeping and monthly revenue reports and such. And, it is satisfying to watch the numbers increase, but it's not as satisfying as building something new, to me.
- bemmu 17y agoAfter the first $1000 / month I started caring a lot less, because I could eat and pay rent. After $2000 I stopped caring some more, because that is enough for budget travel, which is the biggest "thing" I want. Now I've found my next motivation to be "for each extra $2000 I make, I can have these things some month in the future when I've lost my revenue source".
