Have you already accomplished such a goal?

• pavlov 9y ago
  Yes, but no thanks to myself. I wasted about a decade being a crap entrepreneur that didn't have such goals. It was easy to rationalize spending time on the work I liked doing under the pretense that I was improving the product's fundamentals. In retrospect, I would have been much better off facing my fears and doing clearly delineated 3-month efforts with revenue targets rather than persisting with products that don't quite work. I'm still a crap entrepreneur, but I've become slightly better at teaming up with people who can make it happen.

    Have you started a side project and after 3 months you were making 10k per month?
    • pavlov 9y ago
      No, but I've been in a startup that got to $10k MRR in under three months after launching the product... And that opened my eyes to what all the talk about the mythical "traction" actually meant. If it's a side project, that's a different game. A side project doesn't need traction to be successful for its creator.

        3 months after launch is a lot more specific, your first comment suggests 3 months after starting...
