The Myth of Solo Founding as “Exciting Innovation”
When I started, I thought being a solo founder meant I’d be working on cutting-edge technology every day. I imagined myself building amazing, innovative features and tackling the most exciting parts of entrepreneurship.
What the Work Really Looks Like
The reality is very different. Most of my work is not glamorous. I spend time turning visitors into paying customers, building finance systems, and designing email marketing sequences. These tasks don’t look exciting, but they are what move the business forward.
Why the Boring Tasks Matter
The truth is that success lives behind these “boring” tasks. Growth isn’t about chasing only the fun and shiny parts it’s about setting up systems, processes, and small steps that add up. Without this, the exciting work doesn’t matter because the business won’t survive.
The Truth About Where Success Comes From
If you’re signing up for solo founding, remember that excitement is only part of the journey. You’ll spend a lot of time in the unglamorous trenches. But that’s okay the boring work is what creates the foundation for everything else.
