you will likely never view this time as 'the best time' you have ever had, maybe the most motivated. With all the urgency we had the whole time trying to build our company, it wasn't until the bank account was actually hitting 0 that we finally did what was necessary to get to profitability. The lesson we learned was that anything that requires time to build is not really possible as a first time entrepreneur, you need to find something that will require the least effort to get traction. I would strongly focus on getting revenues rather than getting funding.
