Being a solo founder has been one of the most challenging things I've done.

In the same week, I've been a developer, designer, product manager, QA tester, marketer, customer support agent, and founder.

Some days I feel like I'm making huge progress.

Other days I'm fixing bugs for hours and wondering if anyone will ever use what I'm building.

Right now, I'm building WorkZo AI, an AI-powered interview simulator that aims to make interview practice feel more like a real recruiter conversation.

The journey has taught me that building the product is hard, but staying consistent when growth is slow is even harder.

For founders who are further along: what helped you push through the phase where you're working every day but traction is still limited?
