Congratulations on 2022 revenue, and thank you for sharing! Your blog posts are genuinely inspirational because of how honest you’ve been about your mistakes. I remember reading your first post about bootstrapping and thinking that you were spending a lot of time on weird products and making rash decisions with money. I did not think you’d last long. Very happy to be wrong. Those early years pre-TinyPilot are what make this success inspiring: they’re proof that you don’t need to immediately start out as a product or business genius to build a real company. It’s an antidote to the “oh I should learn more before starting” attitude that stops me. I really hope this doesn’t come off like a backhanded “if this idiot could do it, anyone can” comment, because that’s not how I feel. Just trying to express real admiration for your transparency, perseverance, and now success.
