IMO having a small team constraint is powerful too, you really have to optimize things otherwise you're screwed. Basically the opposite of a startup, where you'd toss money at the problem while you try and attract more people, making the product increasingly brittle.

- gl338 10y agoThat's definitely not true. There are only a few dozen unicorns, and hundreds of self-sustained businesses that "print" small amounts of money. If you join any large city's small business CEO groups (in NYC, SF, Toronto, London, etc.) you'll find a lot of one-person, bootstrapped companies that just run themselves. It's not easy, but there are dozens or hundreds in many large cities.
- jaxn 10y agoSuccess as a small company often comes from passion and expertise. Passion wants more than 3 hours a week. And if it makes money in 3 hours, chances are it makes more in 30 hours.
- tjholowaychuk 10y agoThree hours per day, not week :p. It's very doable, work smart not hard as they say!
