Been striving for the IndieHacker dream for years ;) Easy to keep your motivation just by going and reading the forums and seeing the projects :: https://indiehackers.com https://indiehackers.com Can't say I've been able to quit my day job or even made enough to brag about but its put me on a path of creativity and ambition. In the process, I've learned so much and done so much including built my own web host, a series of different products, both paid and free, and spoken to so many people from all over the world. While I still owe a mortgage or two... and I took too much time focusing on "adding the next feature" rather than just an MVP, I probably wouldn't change how I went about any of it. I miss video games like crazy... but I keep saying to myself: "Goal is to be comfortable and able to retire by 45." If I can reach this goal, I also have some reward in mind for allowing myself to start gaming again. I am still working my day job which is remote and afford me the time to work on side projects throughout the week and have no dreams of ever quitting, but figure out the niches that you are good at. My dream is certainly in automation, a one-man business with maybe a virtual assistant or two to answer support calls if any of my products were to be that in demand and grow to those heights. So I learned that if you work on something you have no interest in and you don't use yourself, you're not going to go far. You need to solve your own problem first. And you have to find the niche market of people who either have the same problem or didn't even realize it was a problem until you pointed it out and you just made their lives so much easier. But just like the lottery, unless you start playing, you won't accomplish anything. Good luck. Keep the innovation and dream alive!
