Hey fastlaners,
I started a new website recently and while I'm seeing some results, it's just a slow grind. Essentially I'm working on improving the site, doing seo and all of that, but I'm not making enough money to live off of it. On the other hand there is huge potential in my opinion.
So I'm unsure at the moment if I should continue growing the site or not. I guess my main issue is a lack of trust in the process. I mean my trust in society is very low and I've been scammed a few times by clients not paying and so on. So I'm thinking twice about putting any effort into something. On the other hands you see complete $!$"F {not so smart people} showering in money, which makes me angry.
My left brain side tells me that it's worthless to work on it and my right brain side says if the growth continues the site will be huge in a few months. I have currently enough money saved to live for 10 years or so without working, but it's still an uncomfortable situation to put all effort, time and energy into one thing and live off savings. It feels like losing ground for some reason.
So I guess my question is how to handle the emotional side of being an entrepreneur?
