Doing everything yourself in the early days can be draining! it’s hard to keep momentum when you’re context switching all day.
Most of us can’t afford full-time help yet, but trying to do it all solo eventually slows us down or leads to burnout. How are you managing it?
Are you using Upwork or agencies?
Delegating to freelancers or interns?
Automating stuff?
Or just pushing through?
I’m trying to solve this exact problem: how to delegate important but non-core work without breaking the budget, so we can stay focused on the core product?
Would love to hear how you're handling it and maybe we can all learn from each other.
Solo-building an MVP right now, and honestly the context switching is rough. I use AI to offload writing, planning, and even some light coding fixes, it buys me focus time. Also started documenting tasks so I’m ready to delegate when I'm in the right position and I find the right partner. It's not perfect, but it’s keeping me sane (mostly). Personally it's all about giving yourself a break and being efficient with the tools at your disposal. The world is changing, use it.
