Get in front of your customer, everyday.
If you stop this, why are you still an entrepreneur?

The most helpful content isnโ€™t just inspiring โ€” itโ€™s structured, simple, and actionable.

What this means for you: If youโ€™ve felt overwhelmed by ideas but unsure how to take action, youโ€™re not alone.

Last day of "What's holding you back" founders survey insights:

Thereโ€™s a strong demand for practical, actionable advice. Youโ€™re not looking for theory โ€” you want clear steps, quick wins, and real stories from founders whoโ€™ve been in your shoes.

Awesome! It takes courage to do this step and youโ€™ve done it!
Good luck and keep me posted ๐Ÿ™

What this means for you:

If youโ€™ve felt exhausted or struggled to stay motivated, thatโ€™s not a sign of weakness โ€” itโ€™s a sign that youโ€™re doing hard, meaningful work.

More founders are recognizing that taking care of themselves is key to building something great.

Second insight from my founder survey:

Mental wellbeing matters.

Alongside business challenges, founders are feeling the weight of burnout and staying motivated โ€” a reminder that building something great takes both strategy and self-care.

Be honest: how many times this week have you felt completely drained but pushed on anyway?

This next survey finding is a big one. ๐Ÿ‘‡

This is insight 1/3 of my founders survey "What's holding you back?"
Tune in tomorrow for the second one!
What's pulling you away from doing the thing you're supposed to right now?

If you're feeling pulled in a million directions, you're probably right.

Figuring out which direction matters most feels like the first step. #saas #founders #buildinpublic

Talked to a bunch of SaaS founders lately about what's bugging them.

Turns out, it's rarely just ONE thing.

Procrastination, feeling lost, and the scaling monster all seem to show up for the party at the same time.

I promised you the survey results of technical early stage SaaS founders, what's really holding them back?

What are the common struggles and surprising insights that you can learn from?

Follow me so you don't miss it, tomorrow I'll start with surprising insight 1 of 3!

I asked early stage saas founders about their struggles in a survey and I promised to share the results.
Stay tuned, really surprising results!

Iโ€™m still here, just more quiet.

I did the classic mistake: Trying to handle too many channels.

But I learned more about me and my voice.

I will share more about it in the next days.
Hold me accountable !

How did it feel the last time you came back from a reflective Pause?

Whatโ€™s Holding You Back as a Founder? (30-second survey) Made with Tally, the simplest way to create forms.

7 founders say procrastination is killing their progress. 7 more are stuck scaling.

If you've felt the same, you're not alone.

My survey closes tonight at midnight (UTC+7): One last chance to share your story and see what others are facing.

Donโ€™t just watch, be part of the story.

A picture is worth a thousand words!

2025 is all about rocketsโ€”but not this one. Iโ€™m excited to see where it goes and just enjoying the ride.

This project reminded me of things Iโ€™d forgotten about myself and became the catalyst for everything happening now, five years later. Grateful for that.

Wish Iโ€™d have documented in text, because now I definitely donโ€™t remember much of it anymore. Itโ€™s still somewhere in my old apartment, broken.
