I'm in year five of building companies, three years doing it full-time. I don't have regrets but there have been extreme low point - primarily tied to other people. Firing others. Having investors pull out last second and forcing us to shutdown. Having cofounders quit, or worse, intentional sabotage the team. It takes a certain type of person to want to continue doing this long-term. Most people don't have that. One thing I wish someone told me early was that being consistent is the key. I spent the first ten years of my tech career looking for hacks to just realize the best hack is to just doing things consistently and speak to new people all the time. Once you have your pace set, just running with it and sticking with it results in things to start happening.
