This was it for me. Pouring your whole self into your work, only to be laid off, fired, or skipped for promotion is soul shattering.
$400k ARR solo. I'll never work for anyone again, I'll never feel compelled to be a yes man again, I'll never fake a smile for a drooling idiot of a C*O again.

- senordevnyc 2y agoFor real. I made $400k+ multiple years working for myself in a business that was a mix of product and services. But then divorce, business changes, and my own values shifting pushed me to get a tech job where I made even more, working less, with less stress. It was a great move, though I had to let go of some of my ego to do it. That said, after about five years of that, I'm ready to get back to working for myself.
- kirso 2y agoThis just shows that life is really transient. Life circumstances change, so we probably shouldn't be dogmatic. Frankly 90% of people probably are not cut out to be entrepreneurs because it requires certain qualities.
