Life > MRR

Speaking as someone who has gone from zero MRR this year to now a comfortable amount of MRR per month (for a one man bootstrapped business), I can categorically say my life is all the better for it. I have less stress, I can do the things I want to do, I can take care of myself properly and my loved ones. MRR is great, I recommend it!

This is an interesting read. To me the main point is:

I was chasing someone else’s dream, not mine.

This is a really important statement to me. I have the impress that many people try to have money and a "free life" because... it sounds nice. It's what people try to do. Everything has benefits and drawbacks: it's important to discover what they are, if you want them, what implies being a creator and working on the same product for years. This is not the easy life many dream about.

In short: find what you really want. If you want some MRR and you're passionate by your product, fine. If you're only motivated by money, it could be a double edge sword.

Very interesting read. I feel like at the end of the day it’s about balance. As you said in the other reply “grass is always greener.” To avoid regretful thinking down the road, I like to keep my goals and desires in check every now and then. What do you think?
