Lifestyle businesses are not failures. If you're making enough money to live on from your business, and you're happy, then keep doing it, even if your business isn't growing.
- jtfrench 13y ago• Does YC fund "lifestyle businesses"? • Even a lifestyle business needs growth — just enough to support the owner's lifestyle — but growth nonetheless (unless one customer is all you ever need)
- dfabulich 13y agoYC doesn't fund lifestyle businesess (on purpose). Lifestyle businesses don't need growth; they need profits. If your revenue/profit are consistent, and they're high enough, you don't have to grow.
