📝 The startup environment in 2019 vs 2024 and why it's harder to raise money
What up Startup Mindsets fans! I just had to come on here and spill my 2 cents about what it's actually like running a business and its affect on your personal finances.
Last year as a side hustle we made about 2.5K from the podcast which is something to celebrate as an entrepreneur. A lot of people will judge you for starting a company but only you know how fulfilling and rewarding it truly is.
Your business has costs and so do you! What are you willing to pay to grow? AKA what are you willing to sacrifice in exchange for what you want? Is there an asymmetrical ROI?
How sustainable will it be? How much cash runway do you have?
