OK this is hard to share, but vulnerability time:

Was doing taxes, and realised my indie products’ revenue in 2022 is just..

~$6200

Not per month, but total for the year!

After 3 years being indie, can’t help but feel my progress is too slow

Damn this is hard af

I share a lot of success stories in this newsletter, and they can make it sound like it’s easy to build a successful business.

But for every success story you see, there are ~99 failure stories you don’t hear about

So if you’re struggling as an entrepreneur, don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s supposed to be hard. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Back to Jason, here are some of his products…

Looks like he does good work. If he can stay in the game long enough, I wouldn’t bet against him eventually breaking through.

Devan Sabaratnam responded to Jason’s tweet with some words of encouragement…

It took us almost exactly 1 whole year to get our first paying customer on our SaaS.  Then 2 more years to get to 20 customers.  Now, 4 years after that, we are doing AUD 7 figures ARR. Don’t give up to early. Persistence eventually pays off.
