I want a comfortable income and lifestyle that I can fully control, and after almost 17 years in business, I think I deserve it! I don’t ever want to be in a situation again where the actions of other people can decide my fate - and any company that has boards, and co-founders and investors comes with this risk. And I don’t want to report to investors or co-founders I’ve done that and it’s not necessarily as fun as it looks. In fact I don’t really need a payout down the track, I’m good now, I just want to maintain my lifestyle, enjoy my work and add some value to people. I’m not prepared to work for nothing in the hope of a payout down the track. I don’t want to take the enormous risks required for high-value companies, I’ve lost enough of my life to stress doing that. I’m not prepared to work 24/7 anymore and take the weight of a large company on my shoulders day and night.
There was a time when I’d never start a business by myself and was convinced investors and co-founders were a key part of any company I wanted to build.īut right now, none of those things are true. There was a time when I’d completely ignore short-term returns in favour of building a large startup with the potential for a big exit. There was a time in my life when I was prepared to give absolutely everything to a company because I started it and I felt I was personally attached to it in an explicit way. Is it ‘right’ to do projects instead of only recurring services? Is it ‘right’ to start a business by yourself or do you need co-founders? What I’ve come to realise is, there is no right or wrong, there is only what suits you at the time. Over the years, I’ve had many back-and-forth conversations with people about the ‘right’ way to do things when it comes to designing a business. Is there a ‘right’ way to run a business? And it was certainly an easy decision to not attempt something like that again. However, having finished up in that business after eight years and never taking a cent out of it other than a wage that was well below market rate, I definitely started wondering whether it was all worth it personally. I often thought about my previous business and how comparatively easy it was and wondered what the fuck am I doing this for! A big part of the answer was I felt like I was building something that was so valuable that all short-term sacrifices would be worth it in the end. It was a hell of a ride, the startup of a lifetime you might say, but it was not without its challenges. I was sick of up and down months, I couldn’t scale the business, I spent too much so the profits were low, and I was bored of doing new website projects all the time. Eventually I hit this goal with my website agency, but it wasn’t enough. Create a “six figure” business – that is, a business turning over $100,000 in a year. When I was 30, a number of years into my business journey I read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, and in that moment I set myself one big goal. This week I find myself starting basically the same business I started 17 years ago, a website support business. Sometimes it’s gone my way, other times I’ve lost everything and had to start from scratch (or worse). Many times over that journey I’ve turned down perfectly good projects, shut down perfectly good businesses and ignored great opportunities to chase the dream of having a real, legitimate startup. It’s almost 17 years since I left my corporate job and chased the dream of being an ‘entrepreneur’.
