What's the worst part of running your own business?
Hey all! Running your own gig comes with highs that feel like heaven. The lows... well... are downright depressing. Wondering what the Indiehacker community feels?
For my bookkeeping business - the worst part is the bad clients. I love the fact that we are able to solve issues for our clients and save them money & time. But sometimes you get a bad apple or two. Unreasonable requests, unreasonable demands, bad manners, and just toxicity. By far, that's the worst part of my job.

The self doubt! I haven't had any sales today, which makes me think I'll never get any sales. When I'm building my app, I worry I'm working on something people will never use. When I'm marketing my app, I worry I'm telling people to use something that sucks.
It's all in my head, of course, but I wish I could be a bit more zen about it.
The lack of light at the end of the tunnel.
As an indie hacker, I find it very hard to mark something as completed. I always see opportunities to improve a product, which makes it feel like I barely finish something... Nevertheless, I never regret it!
Not the worst but arguably the most challenging: managing people
I guess if you're a solo indie.. problem solved 😂
