Well I ran a solo startup so my experience might be different from others but for me, it was like living a dream. While working full-time somewhere, I started this SaaS business and soon after, the monthly income kept doubling to the point I was able to quit my job knowing my living expenses are cared for. When I quit, it was like wow, the feeling of liberation just hits you so hard. I worked for 7 years prior to doing that and now I was free. The feeling of being able to go outside anywhere at any time of the day, go shopping, or go eat at a nice restaurant, just relax at the beach, stuffs you just couldn't do when you are working full-time somewhere. It's like getting out of jail for the first time. That's what it was like for me to quit my job and focus on my startup.
- pedrohidalgo 9y agodo you mind sharing a link of your SaaS product?
- patricklouys 9y agoAre you still doing that or back at a job?
- jaequery 9y agoThis was almost 7 years ago and I sold the company in less than a year of operation. It wasn't like retirement money though, got about a year of break from work. I've launched a few startups after that and joined a couple other startups in the process. But nowadays, I just try to do consultant gigs. Looking back, I still can't get over how great it was though and I regret selling it too early. I also realized just how hard it is to launch a successful business and I was pretty lucky with my first.
